As you may already know, the Austin High School Continuing Education Foundation (AHS-CEF) was created in the year 1991 to assist AHS graduating students continue their education if they were deserving, motivated, but unable to overcome the economic challenges without aid. The Foundation is a tax exempt, IRS designated 501(c)(3) educational and charitable organization that exists entirely on voluntary contributions and fund raisers such as reunions to provide the scholarships. Because there are several AHS organizations listed on the web, you need to make sure you are contributing to the original and longest existing organization. There are no compensated employees or directors serving the Foundation.

The Classy Contributions Report is a fun way to encourage our Loyal Forever classmates to remember the AHS-CEF and make continuing contributions to help fund it. This page will be updated semi annually so you can follow along and see how your class compares and competes with fellow classes on contributions. Only pride is on the line to motivate your reunions to donate surplus funds from reunions and other events to help fund scholarships. Even individual or personal memorials are included in the year you indicate, so they all add up and help establish the class' total amount contributed.
