Description
The African American Legacy Fund (AALF), an initiative of the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, supports nonprofit missions through trust-based grantmaking. Its grants provide general operating support rather than funding restricted to a particular project, giving nonprofits flexible resources to maximize their impact. The next round will provide two years of unrestricted funding.
Founded in 2013 by educator, philanthropist, and civic leader Dr. Anna Jolivet, Ph.D., AALF works to improve the quality of life for Black and African Americans in Southern Arizona. Its broader work combines regional philanthropic grantmaking, leadership development, and connections among grantees to better serve and support the Black and African American community.
