Board of Directors

The Gilbert Advocacy Center Foundation’s (Gilbert ACF) Board of Directors commits to acting as the catalyst, keepers of the vision, facilitators, conveners, and developers of the actual programmatic responses to and support of crime victims.  With its primary goal of fundraising.

Fundraising requires equal doses of planning and execution.  Fundraising needs a long-term view and relentless effort.  The Gilbert ACF’s Board of Directors knows this.  The Board is committed to achieving the Gilbert ACF goals as long as it takes.

Gilbert ACF’s Board anticipates that the fundraising and early development of the victims’ assistance and advocacy program will require 90% of the Board’s efforts with the remaining 10% committed to the administrative duties of accounting, regulatory compliance, tax returns, annual reports and the like.
