ACN’s mission has always been to turn anything anyone could imagine – from every day hopes to extraordinary dreams – into reality. We are in the people business and the business of changing lives. In fact, at ACN, we believe we can change the world one life at a time, which is the premise of our charitable giving program.

Every year ACN hosts several International Training Events in cities around the world, and selects a worthwhile local organisation as our charity of choice. Working with these charitable organisations during the events, we collect contributions from thousands of generous ACN Independent Representatives and employees, to help make a difference in someone’s life. ACN then matches these contributions dollar-for-dollar.

The ACN family has donated well over $1 million to organisations that support such important causes as child welfare, curbing domestic violence, substance abuse rehabilitation and more.

A few of the worthwhile causes we have supported include:

• Ronald Mc Donald House, Parklands, VIC
• Variety, The Children’s Charity, Sydney, NSW
• Atlanta Urban Ministry, Atlanta, Georgia
• Children’s International Summer Village, Gothenburg, Sweden
• American Heart Association, Anaheim, California
• Peace Brigades International, Gothenburg, Sweden
• Lighthouse Youth Services, Cincinnati, Ohio
• Long Beach Fire Department, Long Beach, California
• Lifelong Learning Coalition, Detroit, Michigan
• Self Help for the Elderly, San Jose, California
• Richey Center, Baltimore, Maryland
• Heifer International, Little Rock, Arkansas
• The Red Cross – Hurricane Katrina Relief

As well as supporting global charities, ACN Asia Pacific works closely with charities in it’s own backyard. Here at ACN, we believe charitable giving is more than just donating money. That is why we have committed to helping out people in our community in as many ways as we can - whether it be by donating money, services, or simply our time.

One of the many charities that ACN Asia Pacific have proudly supported is Yalari. It is a great Australian charity that provides and supports Indigenous children from regional, rural and remote communities and towns throughout Australia to gain access to a first-class secondary education. ACN have provided the Yalari head office with it's essential telecommunication services since it was first set-up in 2005. When ACN first partnered with Yalari to help it achieve its goals there were just 5 children in the school, today Yalari helps more than 180 children. ACN are proud to be able to help this worthy cause.

Another way ACN Asia Pacific has helped local charities is by volunteering to refurbish a local community pre-school. ACN Staff ditched their suits and ties to don gardening gear and overalls as they sacrificed a day in the office for a day of volunteer work for Pathways Early Childhood Intervention on Wednesday, March 17, 2010.

Pathways Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) provides play-based early childhood intervention and family centred programs for children with delays in their development including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The ECI centre at Yabsley Avenue, Marrickville underwent a complete facelift with the gun-ho ACN team repainting many of the offices, playrooms and hallways inside and renovating the garden in just one day.

ACN Asia Pacific are committed to helping as many charitable organisations in as many ways possible as it continues to grow and expand its business.
