Social Giving Project

Year after year, the members of IAEE continue to come together as a community with a commonly shared goal to give back to the local communities in or near our event city.

In 2025, our organization partnered with HeartSmiles and raised $692.50 in monetary donations to help provide a brighter and better future through workforce development and skills training programs.

In 2026, our IAEE Leadership Institute is committed to surpassing our previous achievements by partnering with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to protect its waterways through environmental education, restoration, and inspiring people to act through advocacy programs.

Please donate through the IAEE social giving project page that is linked below. In your donation box please add your name check the box “Yes, you can add my name and donation amount to the event donor roll”, so we can track the total group donations.

We would like to ask each of you to support the cause by making a small donation of at least $20 or more to help us meet our ILI 2026 social giving project goal.
