About the ACES Education Foundation:
The ACES Education Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization that supports ACES programs and services. As an agency, ACES perceived the need to better engage members of the community with their vision and goals and to provide a means to support small, worthy, but unfunded ACES projects as they arise. To meet this need, they established the Foundation in 2003. The ACES Education Foundation raises funds from individuals and businesses, including staff, alumni, vendors, and other ACES friends. These funds are then used to enhance and support various agency programs.
