The Everton Fund
Everton America CT (EACT) has established a scholarship fund with FJC – A Foundation of Philanthropic Funds www.fjc.org
The Everton Fund is a charitable fund with the purpose to provide full or partial scholarships to children of exceptional ability whose parents could not otherwise afford the tuition costs of a premier club. We have worked during the year to find a administrator that will allowed us to fully draw down funds, rather than maintain a minimum deposit. FJC gives us this flexibility.
FJC manages one of the nation’s largest Donor Advised Funds, as well as Fiscal Sponsorship Programs, a non-profit Agency Loan Program, and various scholarship programs. FJC has over $200 million in assets under management and is headquartered in New York City. FJC is a 501(c)(3) public charity whose mission is advancing donors’ charitable goals and financial planning through creative and innovative solutions. Projects supported by FJC include: educational outreach, cancer support services, art exhibitions, documentary films, and synagogue and church restorations. FJC has served as the fiscal sponsor for over 200 organizations and projects in the United States and 22 other countries.
To make our club more inclusive of our local community, we ask you to consider making a donation to the Everton Fund. There is currently around $50,000 of financial assistance requested throughout the club’s 500 members. Please follow the instructions below to make a donation:
