Key Allies

The Asheville City Schools Foundation (ACSF) is an independent nonprofit organization founded in 1988 whose work strengthens opportunities for students in Asheville City Schools. ACSF’s work impacts over 4,200 students and their families each year through after-school programming, grants to educators, teaching artist classroom residencies, emergency assistance for ACS families, internships and leadership development for students, and college scholarships. ACSF believes that every child should have access to a high-quality education, regardless of the color of their skin, where they live, or how much money their family makes. They invite students, families, teachers, and community leaders to join them as they cultivate support and opportunities for Asheville’s public schools. More information on ACSF can be found at their Community Engagement webpage.
