FAQs

Have questions? We’re here to help

who can apply?

Any school, youth program, or community organization in need of professional event branding can apply. ACA focuses on groups that lack the budget for high‑quality canopies, signage, and visual identity.

do we need a professional video?

No. A simple phone‑recorded video is perfectly fine. The goal is authenticity — just explain who you are, why your program needs support, and how the branding package would make an impact.

can students submit the video?

Yes. Student‑submitted videos are encouraged. Hearing directly from the kids adds genuine emotion and helps sponsors understand the real needs of the program.

how many schools will be selected?

Selection depends on available sponsorships each cycle. ACA chooses as many schools as possible based on funding, story impact, and community need.

when is the deadline?

The deadline to apply is August 31, 2026. Submit your video and form before this date to be considered for the upcoming selection round.

Your school already has a story.
