Let the Arlington Community Foundation be your Santa this year by giving a gift with meaning.
Honor your friends, relatives, and spouse by giving a gift in their name to support one of the community funds. The foundation will send your gift recipients a special gift card notifying them of your generosity and where the support has been directed – the perfect gift for those friends who have everything and a tax-exempt gift to the community as well!
Imagine how special it will be for us to notify your friend, who holds a season subscription to the Arlington Symphony, that you have contributed funds in her name to support the arts in Arlington. Or perhaps your favorite uncle, a retired teacher from Yorktown High School, would be delighted to learn that you have contributed funds in his name to support education in Arlington. Employees might honor their employers with a contribution in the company’s name. And, spouses can surprise their partners or their parents with a student scholarship in his, her, or their name to help an Arlington high school student meet the ever-increasing financial demands of higher education.
Make sure your holiday dollars have more meaning this year – honor your friends and family and show how you, and they, can support the community for the cost of a sweater.
The Community Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to those recipients of previous foundation scholarships who continue to pursue their education goals.
The Community Partners Program underwrites the cost associated with the general grant-making and scholarship funds.
The Fund for Children and Families supports programs in the community that nurture children and enrich family life.
The Fund for Arlington meets emerging needs and supports community assets.
