Alliance of Community Assistance Ministries (ACAM)

Building the capacity of Houston's social service safety net

Rockwell Fund is proud to partner with the Alliance of Community Assistance Ministries, Inc. (ACAM), a member services organization committed to supporting excellence in social services and organizational development for Community Assistance Ministries (CAMs) in the Greater Houston area. CAMs are there for people when they have nowhere else to turn for basic needs, and ACAM enables CAMs to have even greater impact.

Established as a pilot project in 2004 by a collaboration of local nonprofits led by Rockwell Fund, the ACAM concept was a response to research findings indicating capacity building activities could help CAMs be more effective and accomplish more in their communities. Read more (PDF).

The network of community assistance ministries serve nearly 300,000 Houstonians a year.
