About the Annual Fund 

For over 25 years, the NACS Foundation has served the college store industry by fostering and providing development opportunities to strengthen the vitality of our industry. 
 

The NACS Foundation Annual Fund provides a sustainable revenue stream that allows us to carry on its mission of providing key educational programs, critical industry research, and professional development training and grants. As store budgets decrease and it becomes more difficult to cover the costs of these opportunities, Annual Fund dollars are there to support opportunities for learning and growth that may not otherwise be possible for NACS store members.


Throughout its history, the NACS Foundation has provided in excess of $1.7 million for research and educational programs; awarded grants to more than 2,000 college store personnel; and disbursed over $2 million to assist state and regional associations.
