Acton Academy Pittsburgh · Sponsor a Learner

Fund a kid's education. Follow their journey. Maybe hire them someday.

This isn't a donation to a school. It's a relationship with a community of kids whose education you helped make possible.

What you're funding

A school that builds entrepreneurs.

Acton kids run real businesses, pitch real ideas, and manage real projects from an early age. They learn to think for themselves, take ownership, and build things. Most business owners wish they had gone to a school like this. Your scholarship puts a kid from this community in that room who otherwise wouldn't be there.

You're not sponsoring a program. You're becoming part of a kid's story.

What the relationship looks like

Monthly stories from the families you're supporting

Every month you'll hear real stories from the scholarship families your contribution helps: what their kids are building, how they're growing, and what's changing for them. Personal, specific, and real.

Thank you notes from the families

Scholarship families write personally to our partners. Those notes are shared with our full community in the monthly newsletter so everyone knows who is making this possible.

An open invitation to the school

Come see what you're funding. Attend an exhibition, watch kids present their business projects, or share your own story as a Hero Story guest. The door is open to you anytime.

First access to apprentices

Acton students begin real-world apprenticeships in middle school, spending one to three weeks working inside a local business. As a sponsor, you get first access. The kid you helped fund could be working alongside you.
