How ACCA Started

To learn how ACCA got started in 1967, read a short history. 

Governance and Funding

ACCA is governed by a Board of Directors made up of Official Representatives (OR’s) from member churches. The Board and its elected officers (list of former & current presidents) meet monthly to review and guide assistance programs. Church and private contributions, foundation and government grants basically fund ACCA. Apart from its Child Development Center, there is no paid staff and no charge for ACCA program services. As a 501 (c) (3) organization, all contributions and donations of goods to ACCA are tax deductible.
