Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

ACEE envisions a Financially and Economically Literate Arizona with the mission to reach and teach every Arizona student to become financially and economically responsible in work and life. With this vision, ACEE is the only organization in Arizona which serves public, charter, tribal, home, private, and juvenile detention schools. Provides teacher professional development in teaching personal finance and economics. Has a strong, affiliated academic base with universities and community colleges. Continued on schedule O.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To reach and teach every Arizona student to become financially and economically responsible in work and life.

  • In 2023, ACEE greatly expanded our programs and services in under served communities, providing professional development to 2,113 K12 teachers, and serving 284,079 socioeconomically diverse students from 600 public, charter, tribal, home, private, and juvenile detention schools statewide through 166 programs with our partners. Seventy percent of the students were from low to moderate income families living in 85 cities and all 15 counties where 23 percent were rural. ACEE was nationally recognized as the Council of the Year, the highest honor in economic education, for its outstanding service and innovation. One thousand two hundred and seven corporate and community volunteers stepped up to make a difference as judges, classroom speakers, financial fitness coaches, trainers, and advisors through 102 ACEE program events in 2023. ACEEs teacher programs continue to bring economics to life, reaching classrooms from Apache to Mohave to Cochise counties. Innovative curricula such as Using Childrens Literature to Teach Economics, Money Minutes, the Stock Market Game, and Smartpath empower teachers to bridge real life scenarios with classroom learning. Notably, eight students from Hamilton High School advanced to the national Economics Challenge and Personal Finance Challenge, bringing pride to Arizona. Innovative financial and economic education programs to support entrepreneurship and math learning are getting the attention of teachers and benefiting the students. The launch of Building Young Entrepreneurs and Money Minutes are reaching tens of thousands of diverse students and Native youth throughout the state. Continued on Schedule O.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
