There are many reasons to donate to the Zeta National Educational Foundation (ZNEF)!

​

Our mission is to provide scholarships and support for educational advancement, ensuring that deserving students have access to higher education and the opportunities it brings.

​

Empowering Future Leaders Through Education

​

Your donations help us provide financial assistance to students who demonstrate academic potential and a commitment to making a difference in their communities. By funding scholarships, you are investing in future leaders who will positively impact the world.

​

Supporting Student Success

​

At ZNEF, we go beyond scholarships. Your contributions also support mentoring and educational programs that equip students with the skills they need to excel academically and in life. These programs foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving—key traits that help students navigate real-world challenges and achieve their goals.

​

You Can Designate Your Donation to a Specific Scholarship

​

Your donations can be directed to a specific scholarship fund or educational initiative. This gives you the opportunity to support students in a way that aligns with your personal values or honors someone special. Many of our donors choose to contribute to scholarships that focus on fields like STEM, community service, or leadership.

​

When you make a donation to ZNEF, your gift is managed by our foundation and goes directly to the scholarship or program you’ve chosen to support. As a nonprofit organization, your donation is also eligible for tax deductions.

​

What Benefits Do I Receive by Giving to ZNEF?

​

Your gift provides students the opportunity to pursue higher education—many of whom might not have the resources to do so otherwise. You are helping to open doors to academic and personal success for young people who will go on to lead, innovate, and give back to their communities.

​

You may also receive tax deductions for your donations. ZNEF is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, and your contribution can be claimed as a tax deduction on both federal and state income tax returns. If your employer offers a gift-matching program, your donation can go even further, maximizing the impact on students.

​

How Will My Donation Be Used?

​

Your donation can be undesignated, designated, or both. It may also be given in honor or memory of someone special.

​

• Undesignated contributions help support our general scholarship fund and other educational initiatives that ensure the sustainability and growth of the foundation. These funds provide critical support for marketing, outreach, and operational efforts that keep ZNEF thriving.

​

• Designated contributions can be directed toward specific scholarships, schools, or programs. You may choose to support a particular scholarship fund, student cohort, or educational initiative that resonates with you, such as STEM scholarships, community outreach, or leadership development.

​

By donating to ZNEF, you’re not just giving financially; you’re empowering students to reach their full potential and make a lasting difference.
