Our Story:

ARDF-US serves as the official international relief and development arm of The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). ARDF-US connects Anglican churches with resources as they meet the needs of their communities, expanding the Kingdom of Christ through their work. ARDF-US is the silent partner in the background, working with the local church to encourage families and communities with practical help and solid solutions through a living Gospel that feeds body, soul and spirit. Relief is the one place ARDF-US works both domestically and internationally by resourcing churches that are providing relief to survivors after a disaster and providing needed funding for crisis response.

ARDF-US invests most of its resources in international development coming alongside the local church around the world because sustainable projects help communities flourish over the long term. These projects include Community Development, Economic Empowerment, Education, Evangelism and Discipleship, Food Security and Health (such as schools, clinics, community centers, etc.). As a fundraising organization, we are honored to play a role in resourcing our partners and we get excited when we can help them accomplish the visions and goals for their communities. ARDF-US recognizes the value of the local church in transforming communities through changed lives and changed hearts.
