Donation PolicyHow ACF approaches charitable donations

Applying for or receiving support never requires making a donation. ACF does not ask applicants for fees, passwords, gift cards, or a payment to release funds. Approved support is by bank check payable and mailed to the organization.

If someone proposes a payment, a fundraising link, or unusual account instructions in ACF’s name, pause and confirm the request through the Contact Us page. Do not use contact details supplied only by the suspicious message.

There is no donation facility on this website, and ACF does not solicit donations by phone, text message, or door-to-door visits. If someone asks you for a donation in ACF's name, treat it as suspicious and contact us.

Donation processes will be introduced only after they are established, and receipts and tax treatment will be described accurately at that time.

The supplied annual returns identify ACF as a section 501(c)(3) exempt private foundation. That record does not establish the tax treatment of any particular gift. This website does not represent donations as tax-deductible; obtain qualified advice about any proposed gift.

If and when donations open, the announcement will appear on the News & Updates page and the donation facility will be on this website — never through a link sent by a stranger.
