Autauga Area Grants

Established in 1996, the Autauga Area Community Foundation has distributed grants that provide critical funds for food banks serving people who are currently down on their luck, for libraries and art programs that entertain and educate a city and for social service programs offering various types of hope and help to individuals.

AACF is an affiliate of the Central Alabama Community Foundation. Representatives from Autauga County serve on the CACF Board of Directors. Our staff is here to answer any questions and make the most of your giving needs.

Every year, AACF awards grants to nonprofit projects and programs providing services in Autauga County.
