Grants are reviewed by the Grants committee. Recommendations from the Grants Committee are made to the full Board of directors twice per year. The deadlines for grant requests are June 1 and December 1.

Grants are awarded on the basis of alignment of the purpose for the grant with the AFA mission, which is:

Development of the general public’s education, awareness, and appreciation for architecture, and to promote responsible stewardship of the Central Texas environment; and, Development of sustainable architectural leadership for AIA Austin, and other public, professional, and community organizations in Central Texas.

There are two funds at the Austin Foundation for Architecture; the General Fund and the Fly Fund. The Fly fund, the original fund in the foundations reserves, was created to acknowledge the second portion of the mission, young leadership within the Austin Community. The General fund followed with a focus on public education about the value of good design in our community.
