The You and Me Community Grant Program is made possible by a generous donor. This donation of $100,000 over the next 10 years allowed AEF to establish a grant fund that will promote learning and community service at the same time. The You and Me Community Grant was born from this idea!

AEF has established an application process and will evaluate project proposals each year. Projects may be one-time events, year-long, or multi-year. What matters is that the project is educational and benefits the Arcadia community.
