About EEF

The Eagle Education Foundation was founded in 2010 from a simple but powerful truth: When faith and generosity unite, lives are changed. Rooted in Watertown, South Dakota, and inspired by the mission of Watertown Christian School, our Foundation exists to strengthen Christian education and extend Christ’s love far beyond the classroom.Through endowments and directed giving, we support ministries and causes that reflect the heart of service

 – from Christian education and veterans’ support to children’s hospitals, homeless outreach, and crisis pregnancy care. At its core, Eagle Education Foundation is more than a funding organization – it’s a bridge connecting generous hearts with meaningful impact. Every contribution, whether large or small, helps build a legacy of faith, hope, and opportunity for generations to come.
