Advanced Concepts and Technologies International, LLC (ACT I) has conducted a series of charitable contributions to organizations across the United States in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. ACT I employees recommended key charitable organizations in their local communities across the nation where they deliver mission-essential services to government customers every day.

“This is ACT I in Action,” said ACT I CEO Michael Niggel. “We are proud to call Albany, Arlington, Colorado Springs, Okaloosa County, Patuxent River, and Waco our home. These communities support us every day, and during this important time in our history, it is our humbling opportunity to do what we can to support them.”
