Overview

Funding projects that meet our mission.

Each year the AAA-ICDR Foundation issues a Request for Proposals (RFP) focused on Foundation priorities for the upcoming grant cycle. It is an open call to organizations to submit an application that aligns with the Foundation’s mission and the RFP. The RFP is typically announced each June. It is a two-step application process starting with an Initial Description of Grant Request. After review, a limited number of organizations are invited to submit a proposal for consideration. It is a competitive review process each year.
