Our Mission
Our mission is to collaborate with our community to do whatever it takes for all Asheville City Schools students to thrive.
Since 1988, we have been proud to stand alongside educators, families, and community members to invest in public education. Through this portal, teachers and students can apply for professional development funds, educator grants, and career and college scholarships.
To date, ACSF has awarded more than $2.3 million in educator and school-based grants and over $3.7 million in student scholarships thanks to the generosity and commitment of our community.
A critical part of our work is supporting ACS educators through grants, fellowships, and professional development funding, and students through scholarships. We are proud of everything our school community has accomplished with these resources.
We’re so excited to fund your dreams, support your goals, and help turn your ideas into impact.
