Since its inception, the Arlington Education Foundation
has raised hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in direct
support of our teachers and students.
In 2008, a group of dedicated community leaders came together with a shared vision for the future of education in Arlington. Their collaborative efforts led to the establishment of the Arlington Education Foundation (AEF), a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The primary mission of AEF is to enhance the quality of education in our community.
AEF was founded on the belief that a solid educational system is the cornerstone of a thriving community. With this in mind, the foundation actively seeks the support of every household, local business, and civic organization in Arlington. By encouraging these entities to contribute resources, whether time, funds, or expertise, AEF aims to create a collective impact that directly benefits our schools.
Our commitment is unwavering. By pooling our resources and working hand-in-hand with the community, we can foster an environment where every student has the opportunity to excel and our schools continue to be beacons of excellence.
The donations are given directly to the schools in the form of grants to continue to improve the education of our children.
