helping others reach their potential

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime". The Ackley Foundation is a family foundation committed to helping individuals and families reach their potential as self-relying, self-sufficient members of their community. We want to help those who are willing to work hard and are motivated to achieve their goals, but due to circumstances beyond their control have a financial roadblock to continuing their pursuit of a sustainable career.
