"They look after people of Birmingham and the West Midlands and our fanbase covers that area," Villa's head of community Duncan Biddle told BBC WM.
"They have to compete against national charities for funds and hopefully this will elevate them to that level."
Acorns, which was established in 1983, cares for life-limited children and their families in the Midlands.
The charity has three hospices across the region, in Birmingham, Walsall and Worcester.
