Now that our grandchildren are old enough, we thought it was important to give them personal experience with philanthropic activity within their community. We want them to be involved and help us make decisions about grant recommendations that support the things we all care about most.

Stories from ACF Donors

ACF donors Pamela and Peter Barbey.
Freedom of speech and freedom of expression in journalism is very important to our family, which has been involved in news and newspapers for generations. Through our grantmaking to PEN America we seek to increase overall understanding about the extreme importance of preserving local news in America and free speech worldwide.
