About the ACBL Charity Foundation
Formed in 1964, the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) Charity Foundation supports qualified non-bridge related 501(c)3 charitable organizations within ACBL communities with monies raised through ACBL club charity games, ACBL tournament charity games, disaster relief games and through private donations.
Grants are provided to ACBL District organizations who select charities based on the diverse needs of their respective communities.
The North American Bridge Championships (NABCs) are held yearly in the spring, the summer and the fall. The Foundation provides grants to each NABC Tournament Committee who select a local charity or charities to receive funding.
In partnership with the ACBL, the Foundation provided funding to the World Central Kitchen and Direct Relief to support communities impacted by the hurricanes in the Southeastern US.
Individuals may apply for grants directed to non-bridge related organizations for review by the Trustees twice annually.
