In 2017, The American Club Board of Governors made a strategic decision to harness the resources of the Club community to make a difference in the lives of the vulnerable and underprivileged in Hong Kong.

Since January 2021, when the ACF received its Section 88 charitable institution tax exempt status, it has been engaged in executing its mission to fund, guide and support communities in need and environmental sustainability through grants, volunteering and education.
