Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is the backbone of our unrestricted fundraising efforts and supports the general operating expenses. In short, it helps to keep our lights on. Please consider making a one-time annual or monthly reoccurring tax-deductible gift to help children and families living in our community break the cycle of poverty through affordable education and family strengthening.

A Step in the Right Direction

“Why shoes?’ you ask. Families who live below the poverty level often have to choose between groceries and basic necessities for their children. Sally and Bob Painter, founders of A Step in the Right Direction, recognized the need for well-fitting, comfortable sneakers for the over 600 children at the Achievement Center in Delray Beach. New shoes offer comfort, dignity and joy, allowing the kids to fit in with others rather than suffer the embarrassment and pain of shoes that do not fit properly or are completely worn out. By rallying their friends, family and neighbors, Bob and Sally intend to solve this basic problem by funding the purchase of new shoes throughout the school year.

Adopt-a-Class

Achievement Centers for Children & Families (ACCF) Adopt-A-Class program provides much needed support to our Early Learning Program (ELP) Classrooms via monetary donations. This restricted marketing campaign is geared towards donors who generously make a one-time donation of $1,500 to “Adopt” an ELP classroom to provide supplies and funding throughout the school year.

With a $1,500 donation, supporters are providing On-site Field Trips, Arts & Crafts Supplies, STEAM Supplies, Snacks & Food for in classroom occasions, Curriculum Materials & Related Trainings, Student Activities and Engagement Events, Teacher and Provider Appreciation Events, and PPE Safety Supplies.

In return, donors receive invitations to special events such as graduations, holiday shows and volunteer appreciation events, this year those invites will be both virtual and live when safe to do so. They also receive a named school year plaque in their adopted classroom, along with updates from their class throughout the year and an end of the year recap highlighting all of the fun memories that were had.

High quality and affordable Early Childhood Education provided by ACCF is a vital component of our community.  The communities support is needed now more than ever as our children and families depend on our programs and services.
