Every day, every year for more than the past two decades, APEF has invested in the students and teachers of today to empower a more promising future. Initiatives like composting on campus, construction and technology grants to fund cutting-edge technology, and sensory reading pods make our school district an exceptional place to learn and grow. These valuable programs received funding directly from APEF.
APEF’s mission is to provide the financial support needed to empower our teachers and schools to provide educational opportunities above and beyond the standard curriculum. Tax dollars and state and federal funds provide just enough money to pay for the basic New York State required classes and programs. Additional activities, classes, programs, and enrichments must be supported through “outside” funding sources.
“I have been preparing for new projects and dreaming big about the potential for Averill Park. Your generosity with grants supporting the teachers of Averill Park is immeasurable.” – Melissa Weatherwax
“Thanks to APEF for the continued support! I see the impact each day in this building, and I promise it’s substantial!” APHS Principal Heath Quiles

As a local education foundation, we rely on the generosity of our community to help us achieve our annual fundraising goals. The more donations we receive, the greater our impact. You can make a difference in a number of ways.
We are grateful for “cash” donations of any amount, items for our gala auction, including the use of vacation homes, artwork, wellness services, home goods, and more. Gifts-in-kind, including printing, food and beverages, and professional services and consulting, are all extremely valuable. Sponsorships at all levels and underwriting for specific initiatives are always welcome!
Please help us on our mission to continue to heighten and expand opportunities for our students, teachers, and graduates. Your tax-deductible donations are greatly appreciated AND can go even further with corporate matching gifts.

We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization. Our goal is to raise private funds to support innovative educational projects that otherwise would not be funded through the regular school budget process. The Foundation works closely with the School District to extend cultural, creative and educational opportunities for students and teachers.
