Cooperative Grants

AAF administers multiple cooperative grant programs that were established from either Corporate, Donor Advised or Field of Interest Funds that are part of the component funds of the Amarillo Area Foundation.ā€Æ The cooperative grant programs are independent of each other and independent of the Discretionary and Catalyst Grant Programs and their requirements.ā€Æ Each cooperative grant program has its own eligibility criteriaā€Ædefined in the Request for Applications (RFA) page for that grant program.ā€Æ Eligibility requirements for the Foundationā€™s Discretionary and Catalyst Grant Programs, such as having an open grant, do not impact the eligibility to apply to a partnership grant program and vice versa.ā€Æ Organizations that apply for a cooperative grant must be eligible to receive grants from AAF.
