The Achievement Foundation, by using its financial resources, dedicates itself to the development of a better understanding of the free enterprise system by young people.

The Achievement Foundation, Inc. was formed over 70 years ago to receive grants, gifts, and bequests for the giving of financial aid for charitable, scientific or educational programs to groups or clubs of boys and girls for the purpose of encouraging them in productive enterprises. The Foundation is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, it is exempt from state and federal income taxes on income related to its tax-exempt purpose and contributions to the Foundation are deductible as charitable contributions for income tax purposes. The Foundation has had a long-standing (albeit non-exclusive) relationship with Junior Achievement USA. (JA) through grants and providing loans to local JA areas in need of financial assistance. We also provide scholarships to students participating in the JA Company of the Year competition.
