Sponsorship is more than a name on a program. It is what opens seats for neighbors who need to be in the room and funds the follow-through that turns energy into action. It helps ACF convene partners, share tools, and keep attention on both urgent needs and long-term priorities.
Here are just a few examples of what those dollars make possible in plain terms:
- Rapid response and catalytic funding that meets urgent needs and seeds solutions, often unlocking larger public or private investment.
- Year-round gatherings where ACF connects donors, residents, nonprofits, and public partners to solve problems and pursue opportunities together.
- Collaborative research and policy that translate local experience and expertise into practical next steps for deeply affordable housing and child care, and living wages for our lowest-income neighbors.
-
Scholarships and advising that meet today’s students where they are and help them move forward with a whole community behind them.
- Community groups like the LGBTQ+ group and Arlington Women Community Builders (AWCB) that build belonging and leadership so that everyone has a seat and a voice at the table.
When the event is over and everyone in the room leaves recharged, ACF carries that energy into the year ahead. That momentum becomes connection, opportunity, and belonging across all of Arlington.
Whether you are able to sponsor, attend, or share the Spirit of Community, you help keep the charge alive and power ACF’s work all year long.
