Giving

Amish Descendant Scholarship Fund applicants have taken the difficult path of finding their way to college with a limited childhood education, which means they are a determined and dedicated group of students. Our goal is to give every eligible applicant a scholarship to help them along their way. We are completely reliant on our generous donors to make this happen.

Will you consider making a donation to help students reach their goal of earning a college education? We appreciate every gift, no matter how small.

To donate, please send a check to:

ADSFund
Everence Foundation
PO Box 483
Goshen, IN 46527-0483

Checks should be made out to: Everence Foundation

In the Memo section please write our name: ADSFund.

Please include a return address so we can send you a tax-deductible receipt. Thank you for your donation!

Note:

Donated funds never pass through our hands. We have a non-profit account with Everence, a financial services company, that handles the funds for us. They mail the scholarship checks directly to the application winners' universities.

ADSF is managed by volunteers — all time is donated. Everything you donate will go toward scholarships for formerly Amish seeking a higher education.
