“While contributions cover each group’s rent and other expenses, the Seventh Tradition is essential at every level of A.A. service. It is both a privilege and a responsibility for groups and members to ensure that not only their group, but also their intergroup/central office, local services, district, area, and the General Service Office remain self-supporting. This keeps A.A. free of outside influences that might divert us from our primary purpose — to help the alcoholic who still suffers.”

WHERE MONEY AND SPIRITUALITY MIX


Members celebrate sobriety by giving time, energy and money in support of carrying the A.A. message. Members assure that group expenses are paid by voluntarily putting money into the basket passed at each meeting. Contributions support the group and A.A. worldwide. Contributions ensure that:

  • Groups get meeting space
  • Phones get answered
  • Alcoholic persons in custody get Big Books
  • Professionals get correct information about A.A.
  • Lone A.A. members get letters
  • Newcomers get literature and meeting lists
  • A.A.s around the globe share experience, strength and hope
