The A.J. Fletcher Foundation is a 501(c)3 public charity formed by the founder of Capitol Broadcasting Company, the late A.J. Fletcher. The Foundation is organized to support The Fletcher Academy School of Achievement, a school for students with learning differences, and also supports the work of other charitable organizations. The Academy focuses on students' abilities, providing individualized curriculum, consistent structure and processes, and small class sizes. The school provides students with opportunities to discover the strengths of their own minds and to develop learning styles consistent with those strengths.

The A. J. Fletcher Opera Institute offers performance-based graduate and post-graduate training to exceptional young singers.

Fletcher fellows perform each year in fully staged productions of new and established operatic works and participate in touring and educational outreach programs. The institute is expected to quickly become one of the nation's leading centers for the training of professional singers and the production of opera .
