Donate to Alcoholics Anonymous

A.A.’s Seventh Tradition states: "Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions." This means that only A.A. members contribute financially to A.A. — and even A.A. members are limited in the amount they can contribute. This principle ensures that A.A. remains free of outside influences that might divert us from our primary purpose — to help the alcoholic who still suffers. The significance of Alcoholics Anonymous donations is secondary to the spiritual connection that unites all groups, including those making Cypress Group donations, around the world.

A.A.’s Third Tradition states: The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions, which serve as financial support for AA. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution; it does not wish to engage in any controversy, nor does it endorse or oppose any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.
