ACT for Alexandria

From its launch in 2004, ACT for Alexandria has proven its value as a community foundation. ACT brings the community together to elevate local philanthropic giving and engagement to new heights, supports local nonprofits working to aid the most vulnerable and develops solutions for our most pressing community challenges. Over the last ten years, ACT has expanded and adapted its programs and initiatives to meet the needs of the community. ACT initiatives include ACTion Alexandria, an online civic engagement platform, Spring2ACTion, 24 hours of online giving to support local nonprofits, LEAD, an executive coaching program, and IMPACT: Innovation+Philanthropy, an annual leadership development forum. The ACT Now Fund and later the Alexandria Resilience Fund were formed in partnership with the City of Alexandria to distribute nearly $3 million in funding to nonprofits to address COVID-related needs.
