Thank You for Giving

YOUR DONATION given to the African American Community Investment Fund will assist poor, working poor, and middle class families. 

Donations will NOT be used to cover our administrative costs. This is a “hand-up” effort to help people help themselves, and explore ways to serve and network to build community.

We will address 6 areas with the donations:

Poverty

Homelessness

Housing

Hunger

Violence Prevention

We focus on helping individuals and families, while addressing the root/systemic causes of these five issues listed above.

Small Business Owners

Small capital grants for small business owners with the ultimate goal of job creation in the community.

2.  To strengthen the collaborative work and coalition building in the African-American community to address our six core AACIFUND issues;

3.  To secure millions of dollars of donations for the AACIFUND to be invested directly into the lives of our target groups; and,

4.  The overall goal is long-term, economic impact in King, Pierce, Thurston, and Snohomish County’s African American community.  We will seek the best practices to achieve that goal, while simultaneously assisting African American families to obtain economic self-sufficiency and long-term, fiscal security for their families.

Fund Distribution

Applicants for the fund must state what organization(s) or effort(s) they are involved in to improve the quality of life for African Americans, the poor, working poor, or middle class families.
