I have worked with the organizers of action alliance several times in setting up apartments for refugees. The love and attention given to each setup is incomparable. Not only are they trying to give these families the essentials of life, they're trying to make it feel like a home for those that have none. It is truly beautiful. Each time I make donations of household goods, I know they are going directly to the people that need them most desperately. So encouraging to see an organization where 100% for all the donations of items, money, and time go directly to the cause being supported. No one is taking anything for themselves. Such an inspiration!
I love the mission of Action Alliance. I have watched them turn ordinary apartments into welcoming homes. Their dedication in selflessly providing desperately needed services rendered on so many fronts is inspiring and enhances my faith in humanity.
Action Alliance is a remarkable nonprofit that truly embodies the spirit of partnership and support. Through collaborations with other organizations, they bridge essential service gaps, ensuring that communities in need receive seamless, effective assistance. Their work with Refugee Services of Texas aids refugees in the DFW area as they build new lives, while their projects in Guatemala address critical needs—from education and nutrition to sustainable living improvements. By fostering cultural exchanges between donors and beneficiaries, Action Alliance not only supports communities but also enriches lives on both sides. Their commitment to empowerment and self-reliance is inspiring and transformative!
I have worked as a volunteer with Action Alliance International for nearly three years. The satisfaction of working with unpaid dedicated volunteers to uplift the lives of refugees entering our country and also reaching out with help to some of the needy in Guatemala has added a happy dimension to my life.
Fantastic Non Profit doing great work! I am always so impressed with their dedication and commitment to their work and making sure every donation counts!
I’m always amazed by the care and love put into each project. Whether it is setting up refugees apartments, or creating paintings to go into the apartments. This is a great organization and I’ve enjoyed working with them to help care for the community.

Outstanding non-profit that focuses on caring for those in great need. Worked with this non-profit and large youth group (100+) to provide refugees with paintings and nightstands for their apartments.
Action Alliance does what it was designed to do—help. From giving to refugees in need of assistance to saving impoverished Guatemalans, Action Alliance is a charity worth trusting. They do a lot of good.
AAI helps refugees in the DFW area and indigenous people in Guatemala. A strange combination, but it works.
This non profit is doing a lot for the people they serve and it's run by people who really care about those they serve. Can't think of any improvements.
They are genuinely serving the community. I appreciate that they directly live in the community and know the people well. The website could continue to improve.
This non-profit is so important to those that they help. The people whose first experience, of having a home and a bed provided by kind hearted people is an awesome first impression. Grateful for the example of blind kindness that ActionAI shows.

Action Alliance is one of our most valued partners! They go above and beyond to help serve our clients and communicate with our staff. We are so grateful for their professionalism, kindness, and grace!
I am so impressed with the ladies of Action Alliance! When they set their minds to something, they get it done! It’s been wonderful to watch how many people they’ve helped! I’ve had the opportunity to assist with 46 refugee apartment set ups with them and have loved all the adventures! Love serving with these women!
I love seeing the updates this charity provides. I feel completely confident donations are going to those in need. I remember reading the email about how hard it was to get food to people during Covid. The foresight Action Alliance showed saved lives. I know the people in charge truly care about the people they are helping.
Over the past few months that I have worked with them I have been impressed with how hard they have worked for refugees. We have set up 40+ houses in that span! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. l’ll continue to work with them
This was an amazing experience! Action Alliance was prompt, organized and thoughtful! I’d tell anyone to serve with them and to help all the refugees
This nonprofit is working great in order to provide for so many opportunities and aid to those in other countries! I have been really impressed with them and the way that they handle themselves!
Action Alliance is incredibly intentional about where they allocate donations in order to have the most impact.
I've worked with this organization since they started. They do amazing work and I have a great deal of trust in them.
Action Alliance really cares about helping those in need in Guatemala. The volunteers spend much of their own time and resources without getting anything in return. Donating or volunteering with them really helps people who are in desperate need.
I volunteered with Action Alliance International as part of a virtual internship with my university. I had a phenomenal experience working with this nonprofit as an ESL instructor. It was a real pleasure to get to know and to teach the staff at Funda Maya in Panajachel, Guatemala. Mrs. Linda Cotton was incredibly kind, understanding, and helpful throughout my volunteer experience, both during and outside internship dates. I wholeheartedly recommend volunteering with this non-profit organization, they do amazing work.\u00A0
Amazing company with focus on improving education for health care workers in resuscitation of newborns and saving moms in Guatemala. During COVID they provided much needed food for people in Guatemala. Every dollar goes directly to those in need and for educating physicians, nurses and midwives.
Action Alliance saves lives by teaching lay-midwifes Helping Babies Breathe protocols. It is so simple yet so effective. It has been a pleasure volunteering with this non-profit, and I plan to continue working with them in the future.
It has been my great pleasure to work with one of the founders, Linda Cotton for many years.
The organization Action Alliance has the best interests of the people in Guatemala at heart.
Founder Linda Cotton is a retired CPA and follows with great detail that all the donations that come through Action Alliance are used as requested by the donor. The Board of Action Alliance value transparency with all their donors and supporters. Thanks to Action Alliance and their hard work, many Guatemalan families have had food during this very difficult pandemic, they have also been diligent in helping people in need with medical care. I highly recommend Action Alliance if you want to work with an organization that really cares about the people they serve.
This is a fabulous Non Profit! I am so grateful for the incredible work they are doing to help the people of Guatemala.
We have donated to Action Alliance for about two years now. We were even able to go down as a family to meet the team in Guatemala and see first hand the work they do. We got to go do some of the home food deliveries, we visited their elder care facility, and we got to volunteer in several of their schools. The need in this area of Guatemala is tremendous and this team makes a great effort to get needed supplies to those that need it most. Many of the people assist this organization without any compensation and I am confident that the money I send has a great impact. Sponsering a child is especially rewarding because the child will send direct communications with you, and you and the organization will send you pictures of their progress and supply deliveries (sometimes food). My own children were greatly affected in a positive way by spending time with the people of Guatemala in the summer of 2019. We cannot wait to go back!
A wonderful organization that helps to make a big difference in the lives of people most in need! Thank you for all that you do! Your work with Fundamaya in Guatemala is critical and life changing.
I have worked with Action Alliance International since they formed, both personally and also through the non-profit organization I lead. We are primarily involved with the work they do in conjunction with FundaMaya in Guatemala. I have always found Action Alliance to be wonderful to deal with as we work together to figure out how we can best serve in “normal” times and now during the pandemic. Linda has been very open and easy to communicate with for many of our team members. My impression is she has been extremely respectful and knowledgeable about both the United States regulations and culture/expectations of people that donate. In addition, she also works to understand the Guatemalan NGO’s regulations and culture of the people she interacts with on a management level, but also truly respecting the people she works to serve each and every day. Based on my involvement with non-profits for over ten years, this respect and ability to traverse both cultures and regulatory necessities is essential.
The money we have sent for specific projects has been used appropriately and in the best manner possible to educate, feed, and assist in thousands of lives. Linda communicates effectively, quickly, honestly, and from a heart of genuine service. Linda is an accountant and very thorough and knowledgeable. We look forward to partnering with Action Alliance for many years into the future. I am anxious to be able to return to Guatemala with teams to serve alongside those we cherish and respect, working with both Action Alliance International and FundaMaya. Thank you for being a conduit and active participant each and every day in doing good in this world! You are compassionate and provide physical help to many, along with HOPE! I can't wait to see the impact you have in the years to come!
This group absolutely has a direct impact on the communities they support. I have been fortunate enough to witness first hand some of the donations being put to good use and the impact this can have on the recipients. In Guatemala, feeding children and the elderly, as well as providing for the education of young people, can be life-changing, and I have been to Guatemala and witnessed the joy the people feel when they realize the donors are "real people" who really sincerely care about them.
I've worked with this group for quite awhile and they always are there to help. Even with this pandemic I send money, food is delivered within a few days. My girl that i sponsor had a terrible toothache i sent money and they made sure she got the care she needed. The staff is amazing. They have spent days taking my small group around and helped us put in stoves and water filters. Took us to serve the elderly and we had a blast playing bingo with them too. We have gone to many preschools and the staff and teachers welcome us and we get to be with the children. Involved not observers. I have been going down since 2009. Great group
