What Drives Our Team
ACF Founder
Remembering
the Hon. William T. Newman Jr.
the Hon. William T. Newman Jr.
Judge Newman’s vision, leadership, and deep commitment to Arlington helped shape the Community Foundation into what it is today. As our founder, he understood the power of bringing people together across sectors to strengthen the community we share. His legacy continues through ACF’s work and through the many lives he touched across Arlington.
The ACF Board of Trustees
ACF’s Board of Trustees brings together local leaders from across sectors to guide the Foundation’s strategy, stewardship, and community impact. Their experience, relationships, and commitment to Arlington help ensure ACF remains a trusted, responsive partner for donors, nonprofits, and the broader community.
