Start an Education Opportunity Fund

Build a scholarship program. Shape the future of education.

As the program manager, you set the vision and recommend recipients. The Yeshiva Giving Fund holds the funds, approves the awards, and carries the operational weight.

Your Role, Our Role

You shape the vision. We do the rest.

What You’ll Define

  • Educational purpose — the learning goals your fund supports
  • Eligibility criteria — clear standards recipients must meet
  • Scholarship scope — types of educational expenses covered
  • Advisory structure — who may submit recommendations
  • Fund identity — name and description of the program

What You Won’t Manage

  • Fund administration
  • Payment processing
  • Compliance and oversight
  • Scholarship disbursement logistics
  • Recordkeeping and reporting

The Application Process

Five clear steps to launch.

Designed for Long-Term Impact

Built to grow with your vision.

EOFs are meant to grow, adapt, and continue serving students over time. Many program managers think beyond immediate need and design funds that reflect educational values across generations.
