Vanguard Program Advisor Will Remain Anonymous

Careers in Aviation is pleased to announce that the organization has received a generous $10,000 donation from the Vanguard Charitable Endowment Program. An account advisor to the endowment fund, who wished to remain anonymous, recommended the grant.

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to [the Careers in Aviation] organization," said Benjamin R. Pierce, Executive Director of the Vanguard Charitable Endowment Program. Per the advisor and Mr. Pierce, the money is to be used exclusively in furtherance of the organization’s charitable purposes.

Judy Rice, President & CEO of Careers in Aviation, was notified by the Vanguard Charitable Endowment Program of the news on January 28.

"To know that people want to help Careers in Aviation assist students in achieving their dreams to be a part of the aviation industry touches my heart." said Rice. "On behalf of Careers in Aviation I would like to personally thank the anonymous advisor and the Vanguard Charitable Endowment Program for their very generous contribution."

The Vanguard Charitable Endowment Program is a public charity established to support and increase philanthropy across the United States. The Program’s donor-advised fund promotes charitable giving by working with individual and corporate donors seeking a simple, low-cost way to coordinate their philanthropic planning. While it was founded by Vanguard and shares many of its values, the Vanguard Charitable Endowment Program is a separate, independent organization governed by its own Board of Trustees.

Careers in Aviation advances aerospace education and employment by fostering scholarships, by connecting students with available assistance, and by encouraging the aviation industry, professional associations, government agencies, and the educational community to work together effectively supporting aviation and space career development programs.
