A Message of Gratitude and Vision
Thanks to your generosity, 2024 was a milestone year for the Appleton Education Foundation. With more than $360,000 granted to enhance education, we surpassed $6 million in cumulative giving over AEF’s 27 years – an achievement made possible because of more than 1,000 charitable supporters like you.
AEF board members and staff spent much of the year engaged in strategic planning, reflecting on our impact and charting a course for the future. The result: a refreshed vision – In our community, all students learn, grow, and thrive – and a reinvigorated commitment to strengthen and enhance public education in our community.
With renewed focus and commitment to our goals for grantmaking, fundraising, and overall excellence, we are energized for the years ahead and know that, together, we will continue making a difference.
Thank you for believing in AEF and in the power of education.
