Our Mission

 

Our mission is to give back to Americans, alleviate suffering, and ensure respect for the human being.

 

We have been organized to identify and provide care, assistance, support, and related services to underprivileged American citizens in the United States. Funded entirely by grants, American Charitable Trust provides opportunities for Americans to regain a footing in society.

American Charitable Trust (ACT) is a humanitarian organization that believes in supporting US citizens. We are passionate about giving back to the community and helping those who are capable, but less fortunate. Support is provided to individuals in need primarily through financial assistance for basic necessities like food, water, clothing, shelter, and basic health care.

ACT empowers struggling US citizens, providing basic necessities to individuals and families in order to help them regain their independence.

Any American in need is able to apply for support through our Application Form here.

It is our policy to help any American applicant in need – the support of an individual does NOT depend on the fundraising effort of the individual or family.
