About the Grant

The You & Me Community Grant Program was made possible by a generous $100,000 donation, which the Arcadia Educational Foundation (AEF) is allocating over a 10-year period. This fund was established to support meaningful projects that combine learning with community service.

Each year, AEF reviews proposals and awards funding to eligible educational projects that benefit the Arcadia community. Funded projects may include one-time events, year-long programs, or multi-year initiatives.
