AFI Grant - Multi-year Grants

The AFI Grant, administered by the Adient Foundation, Inc., aims to support philanthropic organizations in the U.S. that are tax-exempt. While primarily offering one-time grants, the Foundation evaluates proposals based on organizational structure, community impact, and management capacity. The Foundation complements public institutions and does not guarantee future funding based on past contributions. Grantees must operate with equal opportunity objectives, and past recipients must submit new applications each year.

The ADIENT FOUNDATION, INC. (Foundation), is organized and directed to be operated for charitable purposes, which include the distribution and application of financial support to soundly managed and operated organizations or causes which are fundamentally philanthropic.  The Foundation contributes to organizations in the United States that operate not-for-profit and are recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt institutions.
The Foundation is the beneficiary of the free enterprise system in the form of donations it receives from Adient Us LLC and the income it earns from invested assets.
It is not the intent of the Foundation to substitute for the role of public institutions and public funds but to complement it.
The Foundation is administered by a Board of Directors, whose members have the sole discretion, power, duty, and responsibility to determine and designate the charities and recipients and the times, amounts, and methods of distribution and application of Foundation funds.
Among the factors considered in evaluating proposals are the organizations' general structure, objectives, and management capacity; its relationship to the community; the population to be served; and its position relative to organizations performing similar functions.
It is expected that all grantees will operate their programs in a manner supportive of equal opportunity objectives.
Contributions made in any one year do not necessarily indicate a precedent for future continued giving, or for comparable gifts to similar organizations.
One-time Grants and Renewals
Most grants awarded are one-time grants.  There are no automatic renewals of support given in any one year.  Past recipients should submit requests following the normal application procedure outlined each calendar year.
