Thank you to the 100 ACPE members who have contributed over $22,000 to the 2015 Sowing Seeds for Our Holy Work Annual Campaign!

The annual campaign strives to reach 100% member participation every year. A portion of your gift will fund future Innovative Program Awards. Last year the foundation was able to provide $30,000 for new programs.

Your participation also demonstrates the strength and commitment of ACPE to other foundations. Therefore every contribution is significant regardless of the amount. You can even set-up a recurring, monthly donation. Please donate today!
