Pay It Forward
What does Pay It Forward mean? For us who live in Arlington we know we are lucky. We live in a
community that is economically strong, socially diverse and naturally beautiful.
The Arlington Education Foundation is thankful for the overwhelming support from the community of
our first project—raising $2.5 million for the Byrnes Performing Arts Center—and we want to give back.
Mission Statement: The purpose of the Arlington Education Foundation is to raise,
manage, invest and distribute funds for the enhancement of programs and projects
within the Arlington School District.
