African-American Community Fund
The African-American Community Fund (AACF) began in 1991 under the leadership of Dayton Foundation emeritus Governing Board member and former chair John E. Moore and former member Lloyd E. Lewis, Jr. At that time, AACF served as an umbrella to more than a dozen funds earmarked to address specific needs within Greater Dayton’s African-American community. Today AACF houses more than 100 current and deferred funds, benefiting a variety of important areas, including civic, economic, cultural, educational, religious and human service initiatives. Recognized as a national model for the promotion of philanthropy in the African-American community, the fund offers African-Americans an opportunity to create a permanent financial resource for generations to come.
