The Foundation, which was incorporated in 1966, is the philanthropic arm of the AAE. It is a 501(c)3 charity. Over the years, its mission and activities have evolved. In 1994, AAE directors and Foundation trustees collaborated to restructure the Foundation’s governance and to initiate an endowment campaign. The new organizational design aligned the Association’s priorities to the Foundation’s mission and has been an unqualified success. Today, the Foundation provides the specialty with resources to address needs, meet challenges and realize dreams for the future.
