About the Foundation
The ACC Foundation supported 630 ACC students with over $1.2 million in scholarships during the 22-23 academic year! Our scholars had an average GPA of 3.15 and completed over 7,700 credits.
- 100 degrees and 77 certificates were received by our scholars.
- 96% of ACC students remain in Colorado!
That means that thanks to the generous donors in our ACC community, Colorado has truly benefited from ACC students and ACC scholars who have added Nurses, Contractors, Police, Automotive and Cyber security professionals and so many more skilled workers into the Colorado workforce!
In addition to having supported so many students achieve their educational goals to either enter the workforce or continue to 4 year degrees, donors to the ACC Foundation have supported:
- ACC’s Health Innovation Center (currently under construction) which will be able to output even more nurses and other allied health care graduates into the state of Colorado
- Another cycle of mini-grants for Innovation for faculty and staff which granted: students to receive important research experience typically not found in community college settings, music students to have hands-on recording experience, along with various other ACC employee-derived initiatives that support student learning and success! View all awarded mini-grants for the past cycle.
- Open-access student food pantry for students and their families
- Continued to grow important partnerships with major leaders in industry and philanthropy such as Lockheed Martin, HealthOne, Centura Health, Schomp Subaru, Sturm Family Foundation, Anschutz Family Foundation, and Zoma Labs.
The ACC Foundation hosts a number of exciting events throughout the year including the sensational Affordable Arts Festival held annually on ACC's Littleton Campus in August. In September of 2024, we will also be hosting another Art, Wine, and Design event at ACC’s amazing Art and Design Center.
Sign up to our mailing list to be updated on these events and check out the ACC 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.
