Together, We Can Make a Difference

Charitable Community Giving Program

ACN’s corporate culture was founded on the principle of giving, and today the company’s charitable community program is making a difference in the lives of others. Every year, ACN hosts several international training events in cities around the world, collecting contributions from thousands of generous ACN representatives and employees to help make a difference in the lives of others. ACN then matches these contributions dollar-for-dollar.

In 2008, ACN began working exclusively with the Ronald McDonald House Charities and will raise funds for this organization at each of ACN’s global events. This charity was a perfect choice for ACN because of its global reach and outstanding commitment to children and their families.

Locally, ACN employees and their families donate time and money to various charities including Hospice, the Career Exploration program with local Concord schools, Youth Homes, Inc. and other organizations. ACN recognizes its place in the Concord community and encourages employees to support the area’s local volunteer organizations.
