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.

To date, that program has helped over 100 families avoid eviction, and stabilize communities disrupted by the events of the past two years.

"The Academy served as a catalyst for developing a roadmap for our community. it provided a set of resources and a set of processes that you can implement in your own setting and try to make sense of in your own community. Providing that kind of framework is very helpful for any city, and it was for our city in particular. "
