Donors
Over the years, GEF has had generous support from the Board of Directors, Donors and Partners. Without them we could not have had the sustainable impact on education in Nicaragua that we have had. Following are only a few of the generous donors:
Julio D. Cardenas, Executive Director Bancentro, and Judy Richardson, GEF Founder
Many recent donors from 2009-2011 have been generous and committed to our cause in serving the students of Nicaragua. We thank you!
