Interested in Receiving Support From ALPS?
ALPS' main (but not only) focus for charitable giving is on programs that directly benefit children in our community, and especially those that are under-privileged. We generally do not contribute toward capital campaigns and prefer to fund a specific service or purchase, as opposed to a “general” or operating account.
ALPS has a Charitable Contributions Committee that receives more requests than we can support. A decision not to fund a request does not imply that the applicant's program is not needed or valued. Rather, it simply may not fall within our giving guidelines or budgetary constraints are preventing support for this cycle.
The ALPS Charitable Contributions Committee generally does not provide charitable donations to the following:
- Individuals or individual endeavors.
- Private foundations.
- Organizations that do not qualify as charitable 501(c)(3) organizations as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.
- Projects of a political nature or designed to influence legislation or elect candidates to public office.
- Projects of sectarian or religious organizations whose services are limited to members of any one religious group.
- Any project that in any manner implies restriction of services based on sex, race, age and religious affiliations.
- Reducing or eliminating a pre-existing debt.
- Health care issues or organizations.
- Permanent endowment funds.
- Advertising.
- Team sponsorships.
