The CAHEC Foundation improves the quality of life for youth and young adults through wellness and education. In 2020, we distributed $570,825 to support our mission of offering life-changing opportunities to the residents in CAHEC's footprint. Here's an overview of the grants and initiatives we've proudly supported: 

Summer Camp Opportunities for CAHEC Youth

The CAHEC Foundation is partnering with the YMCA of the Triangle again this year to sponsor summer camp opportunities through our Youth Leadership Initiative. While at camp, students will participate in character-development, literacy instruction, sports, and can even take swim lessons. A snack and nutritious meal are also provided each day at camp. Because of our scholarships, we are able to offer this summer camp opportunity to residents for $10 per week, per camper - making it extremely affordable for families. 



This year, the CAHEC Foundation is on a mission to offer additional summer camp opportunities in partnership with the YMCA of Western North Carolina. In order to do this - we need your help! One week of summer camp is approximately $200, and 100 percent of every donation we collect will go directly towards this summer camp initiative. Any donation amount - big or small - could help a CAHEC youth resident have an experience they may not otherwise have been able to afford. 

If you'd like to sponsor a camper this summer, please contact Stefanie Lee at slee@cahec.com to make a donation. 

CAHEC Residents Eligible for $2,500 Scholarships

The CAHEC Foundation is partnering with the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) Educational Foundation again this year to offer $2,500 scholarships to residents living in CAHEC-sponsored properties. In 2020, NAHMA made a tremendous impact in the affordable housing industry, awarding $270,000 in scholarships to students throughout the country.
Visit the NAHMA Educational Foundation website for information on eligibility requirements and the online application process. To help NAHMA recognize CAHEC applicants, residents must type "CAHEC Foundation" beside the name of their apartment community on their application. If you'd like to advertise the scholarship to residents, please email Stefanie Lee at slee@cahec.com to request a Resident Flyer.
