AACF ANNUAL REPORT
AACF is an idea whose time has come. I'm a believer that we African-Americans can do this ourselves.
A Legacy of Service
2023 - 2024 Annual Report
“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve...” - Matthew 20:28
After many years of service as a minister and throughout my career, I personally have found that my highest calling in life is serving others. Now, as president of the African-American Community Fund Advisory Board, I believe that we, the Board, also are here to follow the rich legacy of service placed before us by our founders, Mr. John E. Moore, Sr., and Mr. Lloyd E. Lewis, Jr., by promoting and utilizing philanthropy to grow, assist and improve the Dayton Region’s African-American community.
Our 2023-24 annual report, “A Legacy of Service,” honors the
legacy of just a few of the stories within the AACF family of donors who have blazed trails for us to be able to award more than $1M in scholarships since inception to help students to achieve dreams that were once impossible for others. Additionally, awarding 7M in grants to date, including $329,043 during the 2023-24 fiscal year to grassroots nonprofits that are taking care of the many, not always widely known, needs in our community.
Each year, the Advisory Board strives to improve the awareness and reach of the AACF, and we will continue to do so in the year to come through our 4th annual Juneteenth Breakfast Fundraiser (June 20) and the 5th annual African-American Community Fund Golf Outing (September 23).
Please save these dates and share the stories you read in this report to help us bring awareness and inspire others to serve and create charitable legacies that will change our community for years to come.
Sincerely,
Kevin Washington,
President, African-American Community Fund
