RUNNINGBROOKE Information

RunningBrooke is a fund of ACT for Alexandria and operates under ACT for Alexandria's 501(c)(3) status. ACT for Alexandria is our City's community foundation and is dedicated to raising the level and effectiveness of charitable giving in Alexandria. We operate cooperatively but independently. What is the future of RunningBrooke? We know we are in a marathon and not a sprint, and need in our community will continue. We promise to persevere, with pragmatic idealism and passion, until our vision of all children in Alexandria having the skills and habits for success becomes and remains a reality. That vision includes an endowment to ensure our strategic investments can be financially continued until our vision is achieved. Why does RunningBrooke have an age focus for making its grants? While there are important and worthy programs to benefit at-risk children of all ages, we believe our grants will have the greatest impact on younger children. Our current focus is children ages 10 and under.
