About ACT

Arnold Charitable Trust (ACT) is a 501c3 Non-profit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. Specifically, ACT has been formed to raise awareness and provide relief to the poor, distressed and underprivileged. We strive to develop unique and entertaining programs to further our mission. ACT is founded on the core belief that it is our duty as good citizens of the world to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Brothers, Harry and Jon Arnold, founded the Arnold Charitable Trust by officially incorporating in October of 2008 and received 501c3 tax exempt status in May of 2009.

History

Several years ago I attended a charity motorcycle ride with a good friend that benefited children with pediatric brain tumors. We immediately recognized how incredibly brave and special those kids were and how important it was for that organization to have proper funding in order to fulfill thieir mission of finding a cure through medical research. My friend and I decided that we could do more then just simply pay the entrance fee of $50, so the following year we held a small event of our own that raised nearly $8,000. That one event could not have been possible without the help and support of countless friends and family members that all pitched in to make it a success. It was at that point I truly realized the power of people working together for a common cause. I made it a personal goal to start my own non-profit that would be able to fund not just one but multiple children’s charities. And that is how ACT was born.

Board of Directors

ACT Board members receive no personal salary or compensation for their efforts. Each is committed to keeping administrative cost to a minimum. Efficiencies are realized by utilizing the latest technologies to communicate and fundraise through various forms of electronic social media, as well as, some traditional analog communications. You can feel confident that your donation will not be wasted on unnecessary overhead or administration.
