PURPOSE:  To Invest ACJF resources toward finding solutions to pressing state problems impacting Alabama’s disadvantaged children, families and seniors.

Welcome to all nonprofits working to make a positive impact in our community through vital programs and services.  We value your partnership and work in our ongoing efforts to improve the quality of life for all Alabamians.  We believe it is important to work alongside prospective grantees to accomplish goals of mutual interest and we are very interested in reviewing programs and services that assist children, families and seniors by providing civil legal aid and social services to those in need and supporting other social justice-related initiatives.

Since 1993, ACJF has awarded more than $12 million in funds to local and statewide nonprofit organizations in a wide range of program areas.  We remain committed to seeking the most innovative and effective grantmaking strategies possible to assist those in need.
