AFI Grant - One-time Grants and Renewals

The AFI Grant, administered by the Adient Foundation, Inc., supports charitable organizations across the U.S. with a focus on philanthropic efforts. These one-time grants do not guarantee future funding, emphasizing a need for organizations to demonstrate sound management and community impact. Each year, past recipients must reapply under the standard application process, ensuring that support aligns with equal opportunity objectives and the Foundation's mission to complement public funding.

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.
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.
