Lift the Gift

In March 2019, ACC received a private gift of up to $10 million from the Sturm Family Foundation. Approximately half of the Sturm’s gift will be immediately invested in several areas, including program and staffing startup and state-of-the-art equipment and technology. Matching dollars raised by the ACC Foundation will augment a unique program innovation fund, an endowed scholarship fund, and an investment in the future phase II of the campus.
