HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER
·········
Prospective
members are basic needs providers that provide two or more of the following:
food, case management, clothing, employment services, financial assistance for
rent and/or utilities, school supplies/uniforms or transportation. They are
faith-based in mission, vision and origin, without requiring a particular
expression of faith or participation in religious activity as a basis for
receiving services. By joining ACAM, organizations commit to building their
capacity in areas such as board development and fundraising.

ACAM GOVERNANCE AND STRUCTURE
·········
Energized by
the success of our three-year pilot phase (ZCAM ODP), ACAM was formalized in
January 2008. Click here for more information on our history.
Like ZCAM ODP, ACAM is a designated fund of the
Greater Houston Community
Foundation (GHCF). Funds are
located at and managed by GHCF, and ACAM is under its 501(c)(3) status.
EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE
ACAM is governed by an Executive
Committee comprised of funders and ministry executive directors who are elected
by their peers.
Sandy
Faucett, CEO, Katy Christian
Ministries
Linda May, President and Executive Director, The Simmons
Foundation
Mike Shirl, Executive Director, Wesley Community
Center
R. Terry Bell, President, Rockwell Fund, Inc. (Chair)
Because ACAM is under the 501(c)(3) status of
the Greater Houston Community
Foundation, ACAM’s board for legal
purposes is that of the Greater Houston Community Foundation.
