ACF is excited to support and celebrate the work of local nonprofit organizations. 2026 ACF Community Grant recipient Habitat for Humanity of Alamance County prepares families for homeownership through increased financial education opportunities and empowering them to take the necessary steps to make their goal of homeownership a reality. We invite you to check out all of the Spring 2026 ACF Community Grantees.

The word “philanthropy” comes from Greek roots, meaning, quite simply, a love of humanity. It’s a big word—but at its heart, it reflects something very personal: the desire to help others, strengthen community, and make a difference in ways that matter to you.

Our role at ACF is to help you discover, shape, and act on your philanthropic instinct in a way that reflects your values, your experiences, and your goals. Whether you already have a clear vision or are just beginning to explore what matters most, we’re here to help.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) continue to create meaningful planning opportunities for clients over age 70½—helping reduce taxable income while supporting the causes they care about most. With expanded giving limits, new charitable planning options, and proposed legislation that could simplify QCDs from workplace retirement plans, now is an ideal time to revisit charitable strategies with eligible clients. Learn how partnering with the community foundation can help clients maximize both philanthropic impact and financial benefits.
