Altum helps Washington, DC Chapter of the Association for Government Accountants (AGA-DC) establish a Scholarship/Charity Fund

Reston, VA. November 6, 2003 - Altum, Inc., a leader in Enterprise grants tracking and reporting systems for the federal government, is proud to have coordinated the establishment of a charity/scholarship fund for the DC Chapter of the Association for Government Accountants (AGA-DC).

Altum worked with both Eternitree (www.eternitree.com) and the AGA-DC to create an AGA fund that will receive 20% of all sales from Eternitree's website that are designated to the AGA fund. This fund will be used for charitable contributions and for Financial Management scholarships.

Wendy Papagjika, CFO of Altum, said, "I'm so pleased that our efforts have enabled AGA-DC to fund their charities and scholarships. As a member of the AGA, I support their mission and I am happy that we can assist in this very small way to contribute to their success."
