CAHEC Foundation Donates $20,000 in Scholarships 
to Drew Charter School


Last month, the CAHEC Foundation had the opportunity to partner with  Drew Charter School, one of our   New Markets Tax Credit Investments in Atlanta, GA, to sponsor four $5,000 scholarships for their first graduating class. As part of the application process, students were asked to write an essay showing how they exemplify their school Norms: show respect, act responsibly, present professionally, and honor trust. After much deliberation over the 25 applicants, four students were announced as the 2017 Norms Scholarship recipients: John Mali, Mikayla Carney, Kiara Davis, and Yvette Pines. "The students were shocked and so excited to receive this funding. It was a great feeling to see their faces light up when their names were announced," Rachel Kaney, Director of College and Career Readiness for Drew Charter School said. "This is such a great group of students and they are all so grateful!"

The CAHEC Foundation was proud to sponsor scholarships that encourage post-secondary education. Congratulations to the class of 2017, we look forward to following your educational success!

This year, over 450 attendees from 17 states and D.C. attended the 16th Annual CAHEC Partners Conference on Tuesday, May 16, and Wednesday, May 17, at the Grandover Resort & Conference Center in Greensboro, NC. CAHEC was excited to welcome attendees to a new venue this year, and beautiful weather made our networking event and industry session updates a huge success. 
 
    
 
On Tuesday, attendees tested their knowledge with CAHEC's Tax Credit Trivia game in the afternoon, and were invited to the Outdoor Lawn to celebrate CAHEC's 25th Anniversary that evening. Guests were encouraged to wear black and white to this fun networking event, and participated in various outdoor yard games while enjoying great food, drinks, and live music.

On Wednesday, CAHEC welcomed guests to the Partners Appreciation Luncheon, where organizations and individuals were honored for their outstanding contributions to the affordable housing industry. More information about our award winners can be found below.
