The work of the African American Planning Commission relies largely on the generosity of individuals like YOU. We welcome financial and in-kind contributions to support our on-going efforts to end homelessness, develop housing, create economic independence for the less fortunate and assist families in need both in the United States and in Africa.
How do we spend your contributions? We invest your tax-exempt donations in developing supportive housing, creating job readiness/employment training programs, education programs, domestic violence prevention programs, child care programs, and youth development programs.
AAPCI receives some government and corporate funding for program implementation and ongoing operational support, however we rely entirely on individuals and foundations to fund all exploratory and initial capital development efforts for new buildings and employment programs both in the United States and especially in Africa. We ask for your support to help strengthen and sustain our efforts well into the future.
Contributions to the African American Planning Commission, a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, are deductible for computing income and estate taxes.
On behalf of those who rely upon our services, we thank you for your support. You will receive a receipt for your donation in the mail.

Ever wish you could make your gift dollars go further? You can--through your company's matching gift program. Thousands of companies, small and large, have Matching Gift programs which double or even triple individual, tax-deductible contributions made by their employees. Your employer may be one of them!
The process is simple: ask if your company has a Matching Gift program. If so, obtain a matching gift form from your personnel office or matching gift coordinator, fill it out completely and send it along with your contribution to:
African American Planning Commission, Inc.
Attn: Matching Gift Program
P.O. Box 330-707
Brooklyn, New York 11233
We will notify you when your company matches your gift. It's as easy as that! Your gift and your company's matching contribution will help the African American Planning Commission reach its goal of creating affordable housing, employment and job training programs. You can help make a difference -- one house, one person, one family at a time!
