Annual Giving

The Rev. Daniel R. Heischman Endowment for Episcopal Identity and Leadership Development
The work of leadership is a growing and multi-faceted task in Episcopal schools. NAES members need newly developed resources and tools to support their work. This fund ensures that NAES will have the needed resources to continue to offer and to develop expanded leadership programs for current and future Episcopal school leaders.
The George E. Andrews II Endowment for Chaplaincy Development
NAES is the only organization that regularly seeks to uphold and support the work of school chaplains, and their tremendous influence on the students in our schools. The George E. Andrews II Endowment for Chaplaincy Development provides interest income for programs that hold up the importance of school chaplaincy as a vibrant arm of the church’s ministry, supports the Chaplains’ Mentoring Program, and provides continuous networking for chaplains in their day to day work.
Planned Giving
NAES invites you to become a member of the Muhlenberg Society through a planned gift. The Muhlenberg Society honors supporters who have taken the special step of including NAES in their long-term plans through a bequest, beneficiary designation, life-income gift, or other deferred giving arrangement. These enduring gifts help ensure that NAES continues its ministry of service to those who serve Episcopal schools.
William Augustus Muhlenberg
William Augustus Muhlenberg (1796-1877) is considered the father of Episcopal education and his influence continued far beyond his own lifetime. A planned gift to NAES, the only organization of its kind that is Episcopal in character and national in scope, will also have a lasting impact and is truly an expression of your desire that the programs, institutions, and values most important to you will help to influence and guide future generations.
