<p>Every year AVEF provides financial support to teachers, students, parents, mentors or community groups for a wide variety of projects. The purpose of this program is to enhance the educational opportunities available to the youth of Anderson Valley. All applications for grants must be received in writing. Guidelines for grant requests are below. The AVEF board reviews and responds to these requests at its monthly meeting.</p>
<p>Any community member - teacher, student, parent, mentor or community group - may submit a proposal for an AVEF grant. Grant applications are accepted throughout the year. Grant applications can be mailed to AVEF Box 242, Boonville, CA 95415 or can be given to any board member to present at our meeting.</p>
<p>As a general rule, AVEF grants are in the $100 - $500 range. If a grant involves a large number of students we make exceptions.</p>
