Donor Spotlight

This month, we're excited to highlight our partnership with Pogue Construction and celebrate their generosity!

Pogue recently showed their support as the Eagle Sponsor at the NEF Legends Golf Tournament and donated the time and talents of its marketing team to create binders for the NEF grant selection committee. The selection committee has the important responsibility of choosing grant recipients and providing feedback to educators whose applications are not chosen for funding. We are grateful for Pogue's support in providing NEF committees with the resources they need to do great work!
