The Asheville City Schools Foundation (ACSF) was founded in 1988 by parents, community members, and school personnel to increase local support for public education. Over the past three decades, ACSF has grown to provide grants for educators, mentorship and scholarships for students, emergency assistance for families, and advocacy resources for our community. Since 2000, ACSF has invested over $2.9 million in schools and $3.9 million in student scholarships.
