The Averill Park Education Foundation is a volunteer, non-profit organization that exists for the sole benefit of the students of Averill Park schools.

Founded in 2001, it is governed by a Board of Trustees and operates independently from the school district and the Board of Education. The Foundation provides funding for innovative and creative programs that go above and beyond the basic educational requirements for public education. The Foundation seeks tax-deductible contributions from community members, corporations, and larger foundations. Monies raised by the Foundation are distributed in the form of project awards and mini-grants, subject to the approval of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees. Awards will be focused in the areas of fine arts, advanced technology, cultural enrichment, sports and recreation, and general scholastic achievement.
