Description
The Cooperative Grants program at the Amarillo Area Foundation (AAF) offers multiple grant opportunities, each managed independently from the Foundation’s Discretionary and Catalyst Grant Programs. These cooperative grants are established from Corporate, Donor Advised, or Field of Interest Funds within AAF and are designed to address diverse community needs in the 26 northernmost counties of the Texas Panhandle. Each grant program under the cooperative umbrella has its own eligibility requirements, application process, and funding priorities, as detailed in the specific Request for Applications (RFA) for that program.
