America’s Most Cost-Effective Charities (AMCEC) is a federation of America’s finest national organizations. We support a group of charities unlike any others in that more of your contribution goes to the programs and activities of the charity rather than funding high overhead expenses.
AMCEC is proud to offer donors a wide range of giving opportunities where your dollars will be spent to support activates such as providing food, shelter, emergency assistance, and disaster relief to needy individuals and groups; helping to alleviate poverty at home and abroad; funding medical research, and providing compassionate healthcare and medical equipment; scholarships and educational opportunities and much more. Please check out our list of charities for a complete description of services provided and to see how you can help.
There are many benefits to giving to AMCEC:
All AMCEC agencies are screened annually to ensure that they meet the highest standards of substantive program services, management and fiscal responsibility.
AMCEC is governed by a board of directors that includes representatives from member charities, donor groups, and other constituencies. All board members are volunteers serving without compensation. The board of directors oversees the administration of services to AMCEC member agencies and ensures that high eligibility standards are maintained. It does NOT determine how much money each agency will receive – that decision is left to the contributor. Gifts made directly to AMCEC are shared among all its member agencies in the same proportion as each has received donor-designated gifts.
