About Us:

The two organizations, while sharing the same goal, are operated independently.

80-20 is headed by S. B. Woo, former Lieutenant Governor of Delaware (1985-89). He is guided by 80-20’s Board of 6 great Board Members. In 2024, 80-20 EF was rated the 15th best out of 5497 charities in the U.S.A.
