Opportunities With EDFU

Picture
​EDFU Foundation believes we are stronger together. By working with each other, helping one another, and sharing resources to achieve our goals and what is best for humanity is how we secure a good foundation for generations to come.
Work with us.
There are many ways we can work together. One of the best aspects of EDFU Foundation is our consultative service to others to help guide and assist with projects that align with our values. We are that "think tank" that can help you tap into the resources that are already there that you haven't discovered yet.

Partner with us.
Partnering with EDFU Foundation makes sense if our organizations have similar goals and yield the same work output. When we become partners we are able to share the workload and resources to achieve our objectives at a steady pace with mutual support.
