The ACF has been instrumental in many projects throughout the community.

Decorative security fencing of rot-iron with Kansas limestone pillars and cornerstones has been installed around Memorial Park on west Main St.

A brick walkway through Memorial Park features engraved bricks with names of those who have donated bricks to the ACF.

Safety-conscious playground equipment was installed in Memorial Park.

Recently air-conditioning was installed in the Anthony Municipal Hall, a building originally built in 1888 as the Opera House.  It has been well-preserved over the years and is used for "Friendship Meals", Arts and Craft Shows, and sporting events.  Many Anthony High School functions were held in this regal structure such as graduations, sporting events and theatrical performances.  Funding for the project primarily came through donations from the Anthony High School Alumni Association.

Skateboard enthusiasts worked many odd jobs to earn a safe place to ride their skateboards.  That money was put with a $15,000 grant from McDonald's Corp. to build the Skate Park just south of the local public swimming pool.

College scholarships are presented each year through the foundation.  Students may apply through the counselor's offices in Chaparral High School and in Attica High School.  They award two $2,000 scholarships and one $1,000 to Harper County students.
