Eligibility:
The maximum AFFCF can consider funding for books is $50 per child per year for age-appropriate books.
Documentation:
No documentation required beforehand.
Payment:
Once a request is approved, AFFCF sends an e-mail to notify the applicant that the request has been approved and for what amount so the purchase(s) can be made and the receipt mailed to AFFCF for payment. AFFCF can only process one reimbursement, so all purchase receipts for the books must be provided to AFFCF at one time.
