Current Project
The Amanda Geissler Memorial Foundation Inc. is working to build a school in Amanda's honor. We are partnering with Pencils of Promise with a goal to build the school in Ghana, Africa. We believe that since Amanda's mission trip to Ghana was one of the most influential experiences in her life, it seems perfect to build a school there.
If you are so moved to be part of honoring Amanda and building a school to help children in Ghana, Amanda's fundraising link can be found by clicking here. If you'd like to donate directly to the Amanda Geissler Memorial Foundation Inc., please continue to the contact page.
Pencils of Promise (PoP) believes that every child should have access to quality education. They create schools, programs, and global communities around the common goal of education for all. 100% of online donations go to PoP programs.

What have we done?
The Amanda Geissler Foundation Inc. was able to sponsor ten girls through Pencils of Promise - Season of Promise. This donation went to help educate young women worldwide.
"130 million girls around the world are out of school today. Not by choice, but because societal norms, cultural expectations, a lack of resources, improper infrastructure and more, are preventing them from having access to the education that every child deserves.
This holiday season, we’re advocating on behalf of girls worldwide. Why? Because quality education empowers girls to write their own future, enables them to contribute to their local communities, and ultimately, encourages them to become agents of change. Educating girls will not only impact their individual lives, but it will lessen poverty, grow economies, increase familial stability and, ultimately, transform OUR world.
Together, we can bring gender equality into the classroom and start to build a brighter future for all girls." (Pencils of Promise Website)
