Arizona Character Education Foundation
In 2000, The Arizona Character Education Foundation (ACEF) was formed as a non-profit organization to facilitate fundraising activities and to provide long-term sustainability for the ACEIC. The ACEF is comprised of a board that makes all financial and fundraising decisions dealing with character education in Arizona.
Since then, over one million parent books have been distributed and tens of thousands of teachers and youth leaders have been trained in character education. Character education materials have been distributed to over 900 schools in Arizona, allowing millions of Arizona's students to achieve excellence in character through the Six Pillars of Character.SM The initiative for character education in Arizona has grown tremendously over the last ten years, and will continue to grow.
In Late 2012, AZ Character Education Foundation decided to expand their role and become a resource center for anyone choosing to learn what's available in Arizona and nationally regarding the latest trends, statistics, outcomes, research and programs available today.
Show your support for good character in Arizona by purchasing a Character Education License Plate. $17 of each $25 plate provides Arizona schools and organizations with character education instruction and materials at no cost.
