We continue to find ways to live our vision and values in community. The Allocations Committee now oversees the donation of all funds contributed to organizations that operate in our wider community. Guidelines and procedures have been revised to achieve a significant impact on any agency receiving Alliance support. YOU can nominate local non-profits to be considered for these awards.
