AFJ Grantees

The AFJ supports two types of grants on an annual basis:

1. Discretionary grants are awarded after a rigorous application process and selected from a pool of applicants by the AFJ Grants Committee

2. Earmarked grants are awards for which the donors have requested their gifts be designated for a specific organization.
