Where Your Support Matters Most

Scholarships

Scholarships remove financial barriers, making education accessible for every student we serve.

Facilities and Enhancements to Campuses

Investments in our Cumberland and Bedford campuses strengthen the learning environment, expand program capacity, and ensure students have the tools and spaces to succeed.

Workforce Training and Continuing Education

By expanding workforce training and continuing education, we support lifelong learning opportunities that prepare individuals for in-demand careers and meet the evolving needs of our region.

Direct Support to Students

This support ensures students have the resources they need to persist and succeed, from meeting basic needs through emergency financial assistance and the Pantry to accessing academic support, technology, and wellness services.

Athletics

ACM's strong athletic tradition supports student-athletes in achieving success on and off the field while strengthening campus pride and community connection.

How Can You Help

Every Gift - of Any Size - Makes a Difference, Helping to Inspire Hope and Empower Tomorrow for Every Student We Serve

Gifts to the ACM Foundation and the Bedford County Regional Education Foundation can be structured in ways that are both meaningful to you and impactful for our students.

Support may be provided through one-time contributions, multiyear pledges, or recurring gifts that allow you to invest at a level that meets your personal and philanthropic goals. Many donors choose to contribute through gifts of cash securities, or other assets, while others explore planned giving options that create a lasting legacy.

Meaningful naming opportunities are available across both campuses, offering donors the chance to celebrate a family name or honor a loved one in a lasting and visible way. 

Your generosity plays a vital role in advancing opportunity across both campuses.

"Being awarded scholarships has been more than just financial help - it has been a reminder that my past does not define my future. It showed me that people believe in my potential."
