Currently celebrating our 25th year in operation, this fall we hope to announce the completion of our Acton@25 Campaign to launch our next 25 years!
The capital campaign began in 2012 to support Acton’s physical expansion and programmatic growth. Since moving to our new workspace, we have been able to plan larger-than-ever conferences, produce two dvd video curricula and a documentary, and display our unique and rare collection of close to 15,000 books. Over 2,000 people have attended our in-house lectures to learn more about free enterprise, individual liberty and personal responsibility! Many partner and community organizations have used our beautiful building for their own activities. The focus of the final phase of the campaign is seizing new opportunities.
We are $300,000 away from reaching our $12.5 million campaign goal, which we are determined to accomplish by our annual dinner this October. Two generous donors have also agreed to match all donations in this final phase of the campaign to help us reach our goal.
All new or additional gifts between now and the end of the campaign will be matched 2-to-1. All donors to the campaign will be listed in a special commemorative book documenting the building’s transformation, and all contributions of $1,000 or more will be forever recognized in a beautiful etched glass commemorative plaque in our lobby. Thanks again to everyone who has participated.
This final phase of the campaign will allow us to outfit our media center, bolstering our number of podcasts, television interviews and syndicated radio programming. It will also allow us to start live-streaming events in our auditorium and expand our internship program, educating and offering valuable experience to future business and religious leaders.
We have been blessed with a beautiful building in which we’ve been able to display art, produce and screen fascinating documentaries, and hear from many truly talented speakers. The success of the capital campaign will improve Acton’s commitment to serving the Grand Rapids community as well as lovers of liberty throughout the nation and the world.
To help us reach our goal, please contact Charles Roelofs at [email protected] or 616.454.3080. You can also contribute online at give.acton.org.
Thank you to our many supporters who have placed confidence in Acton as the organization to promote a free and virtuous society.
