Alfa Foundation

• Its recorded organisation grants span agricultural and educational organisations, universities, arts and cultural bodies, healthcare providers and community-service organisations, so check whether your work sits among them before writing.
• Most of its grants are modest: about 8 in 10 fall between $1,000 and $25,000, and half are $4,000 or less, so a request of around $4,000 sits near the middle of what it has given, though its largest grant was about $945,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
• Because 88% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had already funded, look first for a connection to the foundation, and note that the filing gives no general application route and no timing, so confirm how to approach it before sending anything.
• Private foundations are excluded, so do not apply if your organisation is one.
• The scholarship programme is a separate individual award for Alabama Farmers Federation members, and its conditions are not criteria for organisation grants.
