Help those affected by Hurricane Florence

You can help families and communities most affected by Hurricane Florence by sending dollars directly to organizations on the front lines of the hurricane relief and recovery efforts.  We recommend donating directly to community foundations in North and South Carolina.  They have the relationships and know-how to ensure your donation will go where it’s most needed.  Click here for a list of disaster relief funds.

Your Voice, Our Community

This summer ACT for Alexandria wants to hear from you!  In between baseball games and backyard barbecues, we’ll be sending out surveys, conducting interviews, hosting meetings – to understand your vision for Alexandria.  Read more. 

ACT for Alexandria, a community foundation, was founded in 2004.  ACT convenes residents around issues of importance, works with nonprofits and city agencies to collaborate in areas of mutual interest and connects donors with causes about which they are passionate.  ACT provides community-minded and philanthropically inclined residents with ways to better focus their contributions in the community and thus have a broader impact on those in need and the larger community.
