Area 52 Institutions Literature Fund
This fund was established to finance the purchase of A.A. literature for institutions within Area 52 and is completely funded by contributions from Area Groups and Individuals. The Area 52 Institutions Chair is the custodian of this fund and maintains a separate account. Decisions for the disbursement of funds are made by the Area 52 Institutions Chair on a first come first serve basis depending of course on available funds.
District Committee Members and/ or H&I representatives may request funds for a facility within their district by contacting the Area 52 Institutions Chair. Contact details are available on the official website https://aanorthdakota.org/institutions-committee / or email directly to institutions@aanorthdakota.org
Currently, Area 52 Districts, Groups or Committees carry the message to these facilities in the District in which they reside. Please contact the District Committee Member of that District for more information.
