Our Mission To secure, invest and distribute the necessary resources to support the educational objectives of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors.

Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Foundation Grants Policy
Adopted February 19, 2004

Guidelines

• Activities supported by grants and program-related investments must be educational or scientific, as defined under the appropriate provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations.
• Grants are available for both members and non-members of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors.
• Individual grants may not be given to members of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Foundation Board.
• Grants may not be used for undergraduate purposes.
• Recipients may not receive grants two years in a row, other than on-going annual contributors as determined by the board.
• The duration of a grant is for one year.
• All funds which are not spent at the end of the grant term must be returned to the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Foundation.
• Because its funds are limited in relation to the great number of worthwhile proposals received, the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Foundation directs its support to activities that are within its current interest and are likely to have wide effect.
