Afri-Can Education & Support Fund (ACES Fund)

The AFRI-CAN Education & Support Fund provides academic support, mentorship, and financial assistance to students of African descent in Toronto and the GTA. The organization helps young people navigate educational barriers through tutoring programs, scholarship opportunities, and one-on-one mentoring relationships with professionals. ACES Fund works with elementary, secondary, and post-secondary students, focusing on building confidence, improving academic outcomes, and expanding access to higher education. The charity recognizes that systemic inequities often limit educational opportunities for Black students and responds by connecting them with resources, role models, and networks that strengthen their educational journeys. Through direct student support and community partnerships with schools, the organization addresses both immediate academic needs and long-term pathways to success.
