The Amherst Central Alumni Foundation, Inc. Grant Committee awarded $10,000 for requests submitted by faculty and staff for the November 1, 2021 application deadline. Grants were awarded in all four schools for technology, sports, music, special education and other academics. The grants are fully funded by generous alumni donations, an annual golf outing and other fund raisers. Grants are awarded for programs that are not funded by the school district budget and are selected based on the most students that will be positively affected. The Amherst Central Alumni Foundation, Inc. has awarded over $150,000 in grants over the last 18 years.

Please consider a gift to the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation on Giving Tuesday!
The Amherst Central Alumni Foundation, through generous donations from alumni, provides financial support to programs which enhance the student experience throughout Amherst Central School District. The foundation is an independent 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization. Our donors help bridge the gap between basic funding and what Amherst students need to truly excel. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the foundation had to cancel its biggest annual fundraiser for two years running. Any amount helps.
Since 2003, our grant program has given over $110,000 to the students of the Amherst Central School District,
Please help us maintain our level of giving back to the district and its students.
Please share with your Amherst family and friends!
