The Education Foundation of Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) invests in the success of our public school system.

How we work

We begin our work by asking big questions

We relentlessly pursue opportunities to empower students, educators, and schools across Anne Arundel County.

What do local children and families need to thrive?
How can we honor our staff and encourage their continued growth?
How can we innovate across the county?
How can we enhance the learning experience?
What skills do students need in a changing world?
What is the future of public education?
From Holland Point to Brooklyn Park

We are committed to students, families, and communities across Anne Arundel County.

Our investments strengthen schools throughout the region. Since 2021, we have awarded more than $1,000,000 to AACPS schools, teachers, and students.
