AAACF's donor advised funds do not operate grant programs or solicit proposals. Advisors typically make grants based on their own philanthropic interests; AAACF is committed to lifting up opportunities when appropriate. For inquiries on donor-advised fund grants, please contact Karen Shellie or Patrick Naswell.
