Contributions & Self-Support

The Seventh Tradition states: “Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.” While contributions cover each group’s rent and other expenses, the Seventh Tradition is essential at every level of A.A. service. It is both a privilege and a responsibility for groups and members to ensure that not only their group, but also their central office, local services, district, area, and the General Service Office remain self-supporting. This keeps A.A. free of outside influences that might divert us from our primary purpose — to help the alcoholic who still suffers. The amount of our contribution is secondary to the spiritual connection that unites all groups around the world.

Please note that contributions are accepted only from AA members.  People who are not members of AA who wish to help the cause of sobriety are encouraged to send their gracious donations to other local organizations.

PayPal and Zelle Donations

Because of the global Covid-19 pandemic, most meetings are still being held online which creates a lack of donations to AA.  To enable members to contribute directly to District 43 AA, we now have an easy method of making donations via PayPal or Zelle.  Simply logon to PayPal or Zelle and enter District43AA@gmail.com to make a donation.
