Grants Program - Introduction

"The Andover Fund for Education is a wonderful funding source where educators in our school community can go to for help to promote innovative programs. A resource like this is especially important in these tight budgetary times. I encourage you to show your support for the students of the Andover Public Schools with a generous donation to AFE."
~Diane Costagliola, President, AHS PAC

"The support and encouragement of the Andover Fund for Education helps teachers to go beyond the ordinary and provide students with experiences that we hope will be memorable and inspirational for them.  We couldn't do this without your generous support."
- Mr. Daniel Miley, West Middle School

Teachers! There are worlds of ideas out there — give yours a try! Apply for an Andover Fund for Education grant to put your great ideas into action for our Andover students!

We’re looking for innovative projects that make learning exciting! Just tell us what you want to do! Applications are due on a yearly basis October 15th & February 15th. Please read our guidelines carefully before submitting a grant proposal.

What We Fund

Andover Fund for Education mini-grants are intended to promote educational leadership, creativity and academic excellence by enabling teachers to put exciting teaching ideas into practice. Projects should stimulate interest and development in math, science, language, reading, writing, social studies, history, or other core curriculum fields. Please note that we emphasize innovation and provide seed funding rather than continuing funding. Please click on guidelines and application forms for further information.

What We Don’t Fund

Professional development for faculty is not funded. Applications which merely seek funding for materials or books for ongoing curriculum, are inconsistent with our goals and will not be funded.
