Described below are the foundation’s core programs.

Scholarships

Preschool Scholarships

The foundation provides scholarship money to Watertown Integrated Preschool and Avon Nursery School. The money is used for financial aid scholarships for individual families. The preschool scholarships should be applied for through the Directors of each of the schools.

High School Scholarships

The foundation provides financial aid scholarships to graduating seniors from Avon High School and Watertown High School. The high school scholarships should be applied for through the guidance offices of the schools.



Thanksgiving Basket Program

The foundation provides Thanksgiving Dinners to as many families as possible each year. If you know of a family that would benefit from this program please contact us through email.



Italian Home for Children Holiday Drive

Each year in the fall we ask friends of the foundation to contribute items such as wrapping paper, scotch tape, socks and underwear which we in turn deliver to the Italian Home. In addition the foundation buys a couple of larger gifts (cd players, karaoke players etc.) that are on the children’s wish list.



Back to School Back Pack Program

Each summer we collect profiles on children from preschool through high school and provide them with a backpack, school supplies, shoes/sneakers, an outfit, and a winter coat. If you know of a family that would benefit from this program please contact us through email.


If you know of a child or family with a specific need that does not fit into the programs above, please submit a letter describing the need and we will determine if we can provide the service.
