Give Back Alexandria
What happens when you have more passion than capital to help Alexandria? That’s the challenge facing today’s young professionals, many of whom have joined together in ACT’s Give Back Alexandria. Members Scott and Sonia Price believe the group is true to its name. Says Scott, “It’s a great vehicle for giving back. You may not be able to give large sums of money, but collectively and combined with ACT matching funds, we see a big impact.” And the group’s fundraising is always … fun. Last year, its annual Blues and Bluegrass event attracted 200 young Alexandrians. For Scott, who makes a special effort to reach out to diverse segments of the community, the group is also “a great way to get so many different groups together with the common goal of helping the city.” And now, he says, given the current economic climate, “There couldn’t be a better time to get involved.”

Donors & GivingACT makes philanthropy easy, no matter what your means. For all who want to give and give back to our community, ACT provides many ways to make a difference. ACT facilitates three different kinds of giving. The ACT Community Fund pools charitable dollars from people throughout the city, and directs funds to support and strengthen existing service programs, as well as create new collaborative solutions to the city’s pressing needs. Every dollar raised for the ACT Community Fund stays here, helping people in our own backyard. ACT’s Giving Circles are groups of people united by friendship, city neighborhood or similar interests. Together, Circles raise funds and decide which issues and charitable initiatives they want to support. Visit Give Back Alexandria and The Giving Circle of Alexandria to learn more. Many individuals and families decide to establish a Donor Advised Fund. An ACT Donor Advised Fund can easily be set up and fund and other ACT planned giving options offer tax planning advantages. ACT’s knowledge of local needs, local issues, and local resources strengthens every gift. ACT advises donors on opportunities and needs throughout the area, so individuals, families, circles, and fund donors can make smarter philanthropic decisions…and see results. |
