In its first 33 years, Arkansas Community Foundation made more than $70 million in grants to nonprofit organizations, schools and government agencies throughout the state. Our vision is to be a leader for transformational change in Arkansas by linking donors with resources to people and organizations with needs.
How Our Grants and Scholarships Work ARCF and its 27 local affiliate offices throughout the state make grants from over 1,200 charitable funds established by individuals, families, corporations and nonprofit organizations. Our grants typically fall into four categories:
Donor Advised Grants, made by donors from their own endowments in support of their individual charitable interests. Most of our grants fall into this category.
Designated Grants, made from endowments established by donors to support specific causes (like animal welfare or the environment) or specific organizations.
Scholarships, available for Arkansas residents seeking higher education.
Unrestricted Grants, made through periodic competitive grant processes from both our statewide central office and 27 local affiliate offices.
