Pay It Forward
The Arlington Education Foundation is looking for projects that could use financial support
that will fill unmet educational needs in our schools or community. The Foundation will
transition from Arts Alive fundraising to investing in the future of Arlington’s residents with
the theme of “Pay it Forward”. Proposals should relate to education and may address topics
such as academics, careers, mentoring, health, fine arts, citizenship and interpersonal skills.
