Add the amount you would like to give, and Steve Hallam into the Staff line. Choose your Donation Frequency, and your Donation Start Date. Steve’s work start date is June 1, 2013.  (We will receive our first pay check that day, so giving the month before is appreciated!) Any gifts received before that date will still be applied to Steve’s position. If we are not at least 80% funded by May we will not be allowed to start this summer, so it is crucial that even if you don't plan on starting your giving until a later date, you sign up and let us know what you are planning on giving.

Giving FAQ’s

What is the best way to give to ACC?

ACC appreciates all gifts and prefers for donors to give through the recurring programs that monthly support the ministry through the individual’s credit card or checking account.

Why do ACC missionaries have to raise financial support and how can I support them?

Many staff and faculty raise support to assist the general ministry budget in meeting its obligations due to the limited ability our students have to pay the actual costs of their education. ACC could not exist financially without this 20% of our total budget coming from individuals and churches supporting them. You can support them by giving to their support by designating this in your form of payment for donation.

How much of ACC’s budget is made up from donor revenue and how much from other sources?

Currently, 35% of the General Ministry Fund is made up of tuition, rentals, and other miscellaneous funding activities. 65% of all budgeted income comes from our donors whether they are churches or individuals/families.

Why give to ACC?

We desire that all gifts and partnerships advance our mission as a Christian education college based in Alaska that specifically targets Alaska’s native population. This ministry is advanced through its vision and mission.

This is accomplished through our mission to empower Alaska Natives through biblically-based education and Christian formation to pursue excellence in character, learning, and service as followers of Christ.

ACC’s passion is to equip students to become all that God has created them to be and to equip them with the educational and life skills they need to be engaged citizens in their communities. This is accomplished through offering a Christ-centered and general studies education, providing a culturally relevant community that cares for the individual needs of each student, and modeling Godly character in everyday living. Each student is encouraged toward a personal plan that promotes holistic lifestyles, education toward life goals, and service to God, church and others.
