Formerly the Association of Lutheran Development Executives (ALDE), the Association for Christian Fundraising (ACF) aspires to be the primary resource for those who value philanthropy through the lens of Christian principles. Members serve nonprofit organizations and those complementary businesses that support them. ACF has a renewed focus to provide a collegial setting and Christian perspective for professionals working in nonprofit fundraising, communications, marketing, leadership, and related fields from a variety of faith traditions.
