About
What ACR is, and what it is not.
A funding agency
Alliance Capital Reserve (ACR) is a funding agency. Its single job is to take capital that originates in the for-profit world and route it to the organizations doing the work: nonprofit organizations and for-profit agencies alike.
Not a nonprofit
ACR is not a nonprofit, and it does not present itself as one. It exists so that for-profit money and nonprofit money never have to be mixed together to get a project funded. That separation is the point of the agency.

The facts, plainly.

How it works
Three steps, in this order.
01
Capital Comes In
Funding is received from for-profit sources and held as a reserve, apart from the organizations it will eventually support.
02
Policy Decides
Each allocation is measured against ACR's written funding policies and direction, not against personal preference or pressure.
03
Funds Go Out
Approved funds move to nonprofit organizations and for-profit agencies, with the purpose and destination of each allocation documented.
Principles
How ACR operates.
Separation Of Money
For-profit capital and nonprofit funds are kept distinct. ACR is the bridge between them, not the place where they blend.
Stewardship
A reserve is held in trust for a purpose. ACR treats the capital it directs as something to be looked after, not merely moved.
Policy Over Discretion
Decisions follow written policy so that outcomes can be explained to anyone who asks how and why a funding decision was made.
Plain Answers
People who hear about ACR will research it. This site is meant to be the first, accurate point of information, in plain language.
Who ACR funds
Two kinds of recipient.
Nonprofit Organizations
Organizations advancing community, faith-based, and social missions that need capital routed to them through a clean, policy-led channel.
For-Profit Agencies
Agencies and businesses carrying out work that fits ACR's direction and that can be funded without crossing into nonprofit money.
