2020 ACCF
OCTOBER NEWSLETTER
We are working remotely at this time.
Please contact us via email or leave a message at 269.673.8344.
Gifts to the ACCF Legacy Endowment become grants.
In light of the impact of COVID-19, the ACCF knew we
needed to explore the role we could play to keep the
non-profits serving Allegan County residents positioned
to fulfill their missions. Enduring lost revenue from cancelled fundraisers, diminishing donations, and decreasing volunteer numbers has created a significant challenge for the
non-profits to continue providing the services we all know
are critical to Allegan County.
 
In order to provide additional support to the non-profit sector, the ACCF has created an impactful campaign.
Your gift to the Legacy Fund will be divided 50/50.
Half going to the 2021 Legacy Grants
(NOW)
Half going to the Legacy Endowment Fund
(For EVER)
With a goal of $100,000, we (YOU and the ACCF) can make a significant impact NOW and For EVER. It is more important than ever that we come together, as partners, to see the non-profits in our community through this pandemic.
Please make your donation today.

2021 ACCF Legacy & TAG Grants

The 2021 TAG Team grant deadline has been merged with the 2021 Legacy grant deadline. The grant applications have been merged, so you only need to complete
ONE grant application.

In order to get grant funds out earlier to grant recipients, we are going to review
them sooner. To do so requires that we move the deadline up.


The new Combined TAG & Legacy Grant Deadline for 2021 Grants is December 4th by 5:00 P.M.

A grant applicant tutorial video is available here This video will take you through the grant application step by step.

You can access the 2021 grant application here
October 1st - 30th
Our inaugural goal is $20,000 which will purchase cans of soup for families, seniors and individuals who utilize the member pantries of the ACFPC. Pre-COVID-19, the food pantries were serving more than 6,000 people monthly, nearly half of whom were children. With businesses struggling and unemployment escalating, the number of those who seek assistance from food pantries is dramatically increasing. It's easy to help.
Impacting Community!

The ACCF awarded $621,779 in grants and scholarships
in 2020.
Moving into 2021 all Non-Profit Spotlight publications will be digital. You can receive the Spotlight to your email inbox quarterly,
Why transition to a new digital Spotlight? It will allow for all live hyperlinks…with the click of the mouse, you the reader, will be able to hyperlink to a website, a sign-up form, a Facebook post, a live video and more! This new interactive platform will allow you to be more connected and informed.

What is a HYPERLINK?
The words above in orange are hyperlinks and they link you to an example of each – a website, a sign up form, a Facebook post and a live video. Think of all the ways in which you can interact with local non-profits. Be sure you have signed up to receive this to your email inbox quarterly.
