The Alpha Community Foundation (ACFO) is a nonprofit organization focused on enhancing the lives of residents in NE OKC. Recently, ACFO acquired a vacant elementary school in NE OKC and is transforming this property into the Garden Oaks Community Center, which will become the heart of its activities and programs. These programs are centered around our core pillars: Educational Outreach, Health and Wellness, Civic Engagement, and Community Service. The Garden Oaks Community Center will provide a multitude of essential services and programs, including after-school tutoring, a library and media center, a STEM lab, health and wellness programs, martial arts classes, remote learning courses, and facilitate mentorship programs, career exploration opportunities, and partnerships with other community organizations. This funding will support Phase 2 of the construction project, and an executive director position focused on capacity building and sustainability.
