About the Foundation
Thanks to our outstanding community of supporters, ACC continues to be a leader in innovative community college education! Because of our communities’ compassion for students—and our donors’ deep-set belief that higher education is crucial to a vibrant community—ACC achieved several amazing accomplishments over the past academic year:
- Received funding for its Health Innovation Center: a health simulation wing to offer students hands-on experience in emergency health services.
- Earned another cycle of mini-grants for innovation for faculty and staff, including one to support students through an open-access food pantry available across ALL ACC campuses.
- Launched a new alumni network platform to provide mentoring opportunities, manage alumni events via one central portal, and help ACC alumni connect with one another.
- Launched the Forever ACC Legacy Society to honor and recognize those who create a legacy gift to support the College. 3 recent endowment gifts will make a permanent impact on ACC students and its programs.
- Grew partnerships with important leaders in industry and philanthropy such as Lockheed Martin, HealthOne, Centura Health, Sturm Family Foundation, Anschutz Family Foundation, and Zoma Labs.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, the ACC Foundation provided approximately $1 million in scholarships to students and over $50,000 in student emergency funding that granted stipends for food, gas, shelter, and other necessities. More than 410 individuals, corporations, organizations, and foundations joined to Climb Together to make this possible.
The ACC Foundation hosts a number of exciting events throughout the year including the sensational Affordable Arts Festival held annually on ACC Littleton’s campus in August. Please make sure to check out our Event Calendar for other opportunities to mingle with a purpose!
Foundation History
Established in 1971, the ACC Foundation turned 50 years young in 2021. Like the grassroots effort by Littleton residents in 1965 to open the doors of ACC, donors came together a few years later to create the Foundation to support the important work of this college. As a registered, 501 (c)(3) organization, it is the mission of the ACC Foundation to advance the mission of the college by providing financial assistance and opportunities to students, encouraging public support for the college, and strengthening the teaching, learning and cultural environment of the college and our community.

In March 2019, the ACC Foundation received a gift of up to $10 million from the Sturm Family Foundation, the largest in the history of the 13-institution Colorado Community College System.
