The Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation is 100% supported by generous donors and volunteers to provide a wide range of resources and opportunities that can help make you and your business successful. From insightful, comprehensive data-driven research to talent development and recruiting opportunities, the Foundation works for the betterment of the equipment finance industry and its participants, while we exercise careful stewardship of your donations.
The Foundation is celebrating its 6th annual Day of Giving on Tuesday, June 6. Our donors give more than money. They give their time and talent to elevate this industry and ensure its future through our Scholarship Program and Guest Lecture Program. Here are the words of a few of our volunteers and what the Foundation means to them:
“Donating to the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation is important because as a service provider we believe it’s important to support the industry that supports our clients. The Foundation provides valuable research on the economic outlook that helps us for modeling. We also take advantage of the Guest Lecture Program that the Foundation organizes because we feel the industry is flush with opportunities and want to find young, talented individuals to join!”
-Dave Gruber, Divisional Assistant Vice President, Great American Insurance Group
“I’ve worked in the Equipment Finance industry for more than 30 years, but it was my return to Channel three years ago that offered me real exposure to the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation. In that time, I’ve been beyond impressed with all that the organization brings to our industry and it motivated my decisions to become active within the Foundation’s offerings. The research alone that they contribute is truly exceptional, but I’m also particularly passionate about the Academic Outreach program led by the Foundation’s Academic Outreach committee. For this and many other reasons, it was an easy decision to become an individual donor to an organization that gives so much to our industry and in doing so, supports my family and me as well and the next generations to come.”
-Cindy Fleck, Managing Director, West, Channel
“The Guest Lecture Program is a great way to give one’s time and talents to support the Foundation’s mission and objectives. College students rarely consider a career path directly into our industry. Therefore, it is incumbent upon each of us to spark that flame of interest. The GLP can do that. The Foundation makes it so very easy to host one at your local college or university, by providing the template, materials and slides. I love donating my time to the worthy cause of inspiring the next generation of industry professionals.”
-Kevin P. Prykull, CLFP, Adjunct Professor in Finance Duquesne University
“I support the Foundation because of the value I receive from the research materials to have a thorough understanding of the needs and issues my clients are weathering to be able to provide them better solutions.”
-Shari Lipski, Principal, ECS Financial
