The Antioch Community Foundation (ACF) is an independent 501c3 organization, created in 2014 through an investment by NRG Antioch. The investment was directed to help charitable and community programs, publicly owned community facilities, and activities that benefit the City of Antioch and its residents.
Between 2015 and 2019, the ACF awarded grants totaling about $35,000 per year to a variety of grassroots programs to support youth, schools, and civic celebrations. The ACF has also provided annual support to Antioch Parks and Recreation, and to the Antioch community’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration. In 2019, the ACF created an annual grant funding cycle, now providing $50,000 per year to benefit the Antioch community.
