In October 1969, a group of people in recovery began the Washtenaw Alano Club as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the Washtenaw County area. Since then, it has continued to provide a safe and sober environment conducive to recovery from addictive behaviors for over 50 years. It does this by providing meeting space and support services 365 days each year to over a dozen recovery fellowships and groups. It is also a site for sober activities such as summer picnics, holiday dinners and alkathons, recovery workshops, membership drives, and so much more. Giving a general donation to the Club supports these activities and the recovery community at large.

WAC Endowment Fund
The Washtenaw Alano Club, in partnership with the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation and generous donors, created an endowment fund to provide long term financial stability for the Club. The Endowment Fund was created by investing a gift of funds. The interest earned from this investment serves as an additional source of income and financial security for the Club. Donors contribute to the Endowment Fund to grow the investment and increase the interest earned. This provides a source of ongoing income, promoting long term financial stability for the Club’s future success. Individuals and organizations impacted by the Club’s mission can donate directly to the Endowment Fund.
An endowment fund ensures the long-term financial stability and growth of our organization. By contributing to our endowment, you will help the club secure a sustainable source of income that will support our facilities and operations, expand our reach, and enable us to respond to emerging needs in our recovery community. The WAC has provided a facility and environment conducive to recovery for over 50 years. The Endowment Fund serves to maintain, preserve, and protect that mission.
Ways to give to the Endowment Fund:
- Cash donations.
- Bequests through a will, trust, or life insurance policy.
- Securities such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
- Employer matching contributions.
- IRA and retirement account designations.
- Multi-year donation commitments.
