ACCD is able to accomplish its mission because of the generous support of its donors. We are a public benefit nonprofit (charitable) organization, and donations to ACCD are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. ACCD leadership works diligently to see to it that all contributions are used effectively to meet the mission of the organization. Each dollar is stretched as far as it will go. We are always attempting to match every donation with in-kind goods, volunteer labor, etc.
The following are avenues for you to join our effort, through your contributions, to equip and resource inner city churches for effective community outreach ministries.
Volunteering
Our ministry depends very strongly on volunteers who are willing to give their time and talents to make a difference in all or any of our programs. We especially need volunteers who would give an hour or two a week to assist others through our Hope In Christ (IHIC) and Gifts-In-Kind programs. If you have expertise in any area and are willing to share with others please contact us.
Gifts
Along with special gifts during the year, please consider a steady monthly donations to ACCD. ACCD depends more on steady donations, no matter how much, to plan and accomplish its mission.Donate via United Way

There two ways to make a donation to ACCD via United Way: (1) by writing ACCD's number 30087 on the check and clearly designating your donation to Alliance of Church-Based Community Developers; (2) you can donate through your employer by specifying ACCD as the recipient of your payroll deduction. In most cases your employer may match your donation.
Life Insurance
You may choose to name ACCD as the beneficiary of all or a portion of a life insurance policy. We can also be named as the alternate or final beneficiary. Keep this option in mind, especially if policies originally intended to protect a spouse, child or complete a mortgage payment may no longer be necessary.
Appreciated Stocks
Gifts of appreciated stocks may be deducted at full market value. Save on capital gains taxes while providing a contribution to ACCD. Stock must be transferred to ACCD before it is sold to receive tax benefits.
Matching Gifts
Many organizations match all or a portion of an employee’s gift to a non-profit organization. Consider doubling the impact of your gift by asking your employer to match your gift.Honor, Memorial or Holiday Gifts
This is a unique opportunity to honor the memory of a special person or honor a significant event, such as a birthday, anniversary or retirement. Honoring a person is the perfect solution for someone you know who may already have everything they need. Simply send your contribution with the name and address of the person to be honored, and we will send a card informing them of your gift.
Retirement Plans
Your children may no longer need the income from being named as the ultimate beneficiary of your retirement plan. By gifting all or a portion of your retirement plan(s) to a charitable organization, the full value is generally disbursed to the charity and makes a great impact.
