WHAT IS THE APPLE FOUNDATION?
Awarding Programs that Promote Learning Excellence
HOW?
The Apple Foundation was established to fund worthwhile educational programs and projects. Educators submit grant requests each spring and, after a thorough review process, grant money is awarded before the summer. This allows your dollars to be put to work as soon as school begins in August.
WHAT?
Apple grants enable teachers to offer innovative and exciting academic programs to our children. Please note that Apple grants fund only those materials and curriculums which are not covered through state or local budgets. Foundation money provides additions to the standard curriculum that supplements and enrich our children's education.
WHY?
We believe the best way to invest in Guntersville's future is by providing an extraordinary
education for our children.
How is the Apple Foundation funded?
The Apple Foundation is funded through tax-deductible donations from individuals
and businesses in the community.
How are the funds used?
All funds raised are distributed to Guntersville City Schools through a grant process. Each year, teachers submit grant requests for funds for the upcoming school year. The Apple Foundation Grant Review Committee reviews each grant submitted and awards the grants based on ultimate benefit of the students of the school system.
2023-2024 Board of Directors
