The Anniston Community Education Foundation is a small nonprofit focused on improving educational outcomes for youth in Anniston and surrounding targeted communities in Alabama. It operates on the belief that with appropriate educational resources, every child can learn and succeed, and it builds partnerships among schools, families, and community stakeholders to raise academic achievement. The foundation targets activities in literacy, parental engagement, and strategies to prevent high school dropout to expand access to educational opportunities for students in need. Established in 2003 as part of the resolution of a federal consent decree, ACEF functions as a public charity that supports educational initiatives and provides services to children in the targeted communities. Based in Anniston, Alabama, the organization serves 501(c)(3) and public or municipal entities and focuses on delivering need-based educational services. In 2019 the foundation expanded its offices within Anniston to accommodate its activities.
