 Plus 50 Initiative 

The AACC Plus 50 Initiative is a 3.5 year effort to identify a pilot group of two-year institutions that will create or expand campus programs to engage the 50+ population in learning; training/re-training programs; and/or volunteer, civic, service activities. The initiative is funded by a $3.2 million grant to AACC from The Atlantic Philanthropies. AACC provided sub-grants to member colleges selected through a competitive grant process. This comprises grants of up to $70,000 (total over 3 years) to 5 Mentor Colleges and grants of up to $40,000 (total over 3 years) to 10 Demonstration Colleges.
