ACT Advisors® Community Award

At ACT Advisors® we believe in supporting our neighbors to create the kind of community that we’re proud to be a part of. That’s why we established the ACT Advisors® Community Award. Our charity giving plan has two components, international and local communities where we believe our donation can make a high impact.

Each year, we’ll award select local charities with the ACT Advisors® Community Award. Internationally, each time we reach our target growth amount, we will partner with Charity Water to donate a well to give access to water to those who need it most.

ACT Advisors® Global Growth Impact Award​

International Charity Partner: Charity Water Charity: water is a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. 100% of our donation will go to the charitable water project as they do not charge any operating costs.

Over the next 21 months, our $10,000 donation will get an entire village clean water, helping approximately 500 people!

There’s lots of water in Cambodia, but it isn’t safe to drink. So, we’re funding solutions to make dirty water clean. We’re helping families build BioSand Filters (BSFs), which kill 99% of bacteria. BSFs are simple, low-cost, slow-sand filters that consist of purifying layers of gravel and sand. Families who receive a BSF participate in the construction process and are trained and monitored to lead to consistent, long-term use.
