2024 Scholarship Program

Avon Club Foundation 2024 Grants

The Avon Club Foundation provides financial grants to non-profit, charitable organizations within our community who align with our Social Responsibility goals to help those whose needs are greater than our own.

The Foundation makes distributions to those organizations serving our community, as well as other worthy, tax-exempt organizations providing services which otherwise might be unavailable or requiring additional support from local or federal government programs. The Avon Club Foundation serves the Community defined as the area and people living within the Avonworth School District. In selecting grant recipients, we consider the organizations alignment with the goals of the Avon Club Foundation regarding Education, Recreation, Preservation and the Environment, and Social Responsibility.

Grant applications for 2024 have been closed and are in review with an announcement of Grant recipients to be announced in May. The 2025 Grant Application will be posted in December 2024. Look for more information at that time.
