The Ashburnham Westminster Foundation for Academic Excellence is one of my favorite charities, and I’m proud to have been involved since day one, for 15+ years now. If you haven’t heard of the Foundation, you can visit our website, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram to find out more. If you have kids in the district, they have benefited from one or more of the grants we’ve funded, MORE THAN $210,000 in to Ash-West classrooms since 2009. If you have kids in the district, please encourage their teachers to apply for our grants NOW through April 21, 2025. Here’s some inspiration in the details of grants we’ve funded.
Breaking it down a little further, we’ve given 111 grants to date, with the majority of the grant applicants being teachers at Oakmont and Overlook. We’ve funded almost 40 grants to Meetinghouse School, Westminster Elementary and J.R. Briggs Elementary, and would love to do more! Our grant cycle is currently OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS through April 21, 2025. Here’s where you come in–please encourage your teacher friends to apply for one of our grants. Or if you’re a teacher or related to a teacher, please share the current Grant Application with them. You’ll see that the application is simple enough–more information about the grants (including the application) can be found here.
I don’t think this is plagiarism, since that wouldn’t be academically excellent at all, but directly from our website because I think I wrote these things: The AWFAE grant program promotes educational excellence in the Ashburnham Westminster Regional School District. The Foundation provides private financial support for exemplary educational projects and programs that benefit public school educators and students in the two communities. Foundation grants, large or small, foster innovative programming that better prepares students for the future by strengthening academics, enhancing technology, and bolstering skilled instructional techniques. The Foundation is directed by a board of volunteers, primarily from Ashburnham and Westminster, who are committed to the pursuit of educational excellence throughout the school district. Here are some examples of grants we’ve awarded over the years.
