Capital Campaign is in excess of $520,000! The trustees of the Education Foundation of Greenville (EFG) expanded its core mission in 2009 and initiated a $1 million endowment campaign to assure future funding of two critical programming areas of Greenville Public Schools. Over recent months, a volunteer campaign committee has led the effort seeking philanthropic gifts through the OUR3 Campaign to support endowments for performing arts programs ($246,000 or 47% of funds raised) and programs for academically ambitious students ($274,000 or 53% of funds raised).      Our 3 Pledge Card (pdf file) Our 3 Capital Campaign Brochure (pdf file) Click on picture above to watch a brief video presentation describing the Our 3 campaign in greater detail.
