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.

Since its founding, ACT has continued to expand and adapt its programs and initiatives to meet the needs of the community.
