A message from Goochland Education Foundation President, Elizabeth Nelson-Lyda

“I would like to extend a personal invitation to each and every one of you - my fellow community members, friends, and neighbors to GEF’s 3rd Annual Gala – Casino night.
In the last two years alone, Goochland Education Foundation has raised and invested more than $100,000 in the acceleration, advancement, and enrichment of education for all in Goochland County, Virginia. We cannot do it without the great people of Goochland County who volunteer their time, items purchased, and funds to support curriculum enhancement. We appreciate your efforts to enrich the experience and lives of our students. Many thanks to you all!!!
Goochland Education Foundation shows great stewardship of funds received. In 2013, GEF managed a 99.5% re-investment rate of all funds received. This means that all overhead/general and administrative expenses were less than 1% of our entire budget. We achieved this by not having any paid staff (all directors and volunteers provide services free of charge). As a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, a rate of less than 1% is incredibly good and we are proud : ).

Please consider attending our event or purchasing tickets to donate to teachers. You will not be disappointed! We appreciate your consideration. Thank you, Goochland!!!
