To offset AEF’s printing and delivery costs, please add $1.00 per recipient. You can do that by using the 'Other' price field (for example, choose $52.00 in the 'Other' field to make a $50 donation honoring 2 teachers).
Step Three:
During the checkout process you will be asked to enter up to 5 names of Stars you are honoring, the school they work in, and who the gift is from. If using Apple Pay you MUST CLICK on the down arrow on the Additional Information section first, so that it pops open and you can enter the names. If you don’t it will process the donation without letting you enter them and you will have to email amherstedfound@gmail.com with the names instead.
Please make your gift by December 31. You can click on the Donate Now button below, or send your gift by mail.
To make your gift by mail, please click on this link for the donation form to submit with your check.
Thank you!

What teachers say:
“We don't always get to fully know as teachers the impact we are having on our students. We can take stock of their work in class, and observe their behavior with others, but we don't know what they are storing in their magnificent brains and taking with them out into the world. I have had the good fortune to be honored by parents and members of the Amherst community through their "STARS in our Schools" donations to AEF. When making their donations, parents and relatives have commented specifically that they see their children singing with joy and self confidence and that they have an appreciation for music of different world cultures. It is deeply satisfying to know that what we do in the schools gets carried out into the community.”
