American Fidelity Foundation Grant

The American Fidelity Foundation Grant supports non-profit organizations that are registered with the IRS and focus on community improvement. With grant sizes ranging from $500 to $5,000, it prioritizes projects in education, health, arts, and civic development. Organizations must demonstrate strong community involvement and the ability to evaluate project success. However, the foundation does not fund individuals, travel expenses, or political activities, ensuring that contributions are directed toward impactful community initiatives.

NOTE: The foundation does NOT accept unsolicited applications for grants. Please submit a letter of interest including a brief description of your project. You will receive a confirmation of the receipt of your letter and a request for additional information if the Foundation is able to consider your request.
