Founded in 2002, the original purpose of the Foundation was to award scholarships to assist individuals wishing to further their appraisal education and knowledge.

Today, the Foundation for Appraisal Education is much more. Scholarships are offered and awarded to appraisers and students who are working to improve their appraisal knowledge by attendance at seminars, courses and other training venues. The Foundation also awards grants in support of educational programs. A major education initiative is the publishing of "The Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies". This is an annual publication written and edited specifically for personal property appraisers.

All of the work of the Foundation is supported by donations and contributions from private sources, such as individuals and businesses. Support is received from appraisers, auctioneers, students, auction companies, database companies and decorative and fine arts organizations. We appreciate your ongoing support and generous donations.

This blog is dedicated to the recognition of our supporters and will reflect donor membership levels, fund raising events and business partner sponsorship.
