Let's celebrate recent AEF Grants!



Last week, the Appleton Education Foundation board of directors approved 8 grants totaling more than $12,000 to enhance education for students in the Appleton Area School District.

Funding comes from these endowed funds within AEF: Betsy Melzer Endowment Fund, Gruner Family Community Mental Wellness Fund, John Mielke and Sally Morey Mielke Education Fund, Mile of Music Fund, Vira and Alan Stoner Education Fund, and the Appleton Education Foundation Fund.

AEF's next grant application deadline is
