About Us
The Tawas Area Education Foundation is a philanthropic group that provides mini grants for staff and scholarships for students to enhance and enrich education for Tawas Area Schools. These funds are made possible through generous donations and endowments from our local community.
The Tawas Area Education Foundation (TAEF) is a nonprofit and tax-exempt organization established in 1990. It provides financial support for creative, progressive and innovative education for Tawas Area students and scholarship assistance for Tawas Area High School graduates. TAEF funding does not replace school taxes, nor is it used for day-to-day operations.
Our Future
The Tawas Area Education Foundation is an affiliate of the Iosco County Community Foundation with an all-volunteer Board of Directors operating under a published set of bylaws. TAEF raises money for the Tawas Area Education Fund and acts as the Advisory Committee to the Fund regarding educational grants and scholarship awards. Our continuing mission is to build a permanent endowment fund which will provide income to meet the needs of Tawas Area students now and in the future.
