The Board also received a report on year-end financial results which included news of AFC’s best-ever fundraising annual campaign. “With more than $180,000 in annual membership donations, plus over $12,000 in donations to AFC’s priority granting impact zones, and generous gifts to special campaigns such as Say Yes! to Kids, the ACW Council of the North Retired Clergy Fund and the David Phillip Jones Preaching Fund, the bond between Canadian Anglicans and their national foundation grows stronger every year.”

“A central component of AFC’s work is to connect donors to their philanthropic goals,” says Dr. Scott Brubacher. “The task of managing an endowment on behalf of people who are no longer with us, but whose wishes we seek to honour by matching the right fund to the right project, is taken very seriously. There is always a deep sense of satisfaction in making a good match.”

Scott Brubacher, AFC’s Executive Director, says many churches struggle with the project description aspect of the grant application. “In a previous grant tips blog I encouraged applicants to simply answer the questions in section 3.3 in order. This model grant application from Holy Trinity is an excellent example of a church that followed that template.”
