The Board of Directors of AFC has approved close to $650,000 in grants and bursaries to 110 applicants as part of its fall 2021 grant cycle. This brings the 2021 grant awards total to more than $835,000, one of the most generous years in AFC’s 64-year history.

“Our ZOOM meetings throughout the pandemic have been extremely productive,” says Dr. Scott Brubacher, Executive Director. “But welcoming some of our Directors back to Toronto feels like a meaningful step toward pandemic recovery.”

“We are deeply moved by this $5,000 gift. The overwhelming response to our fall RFP—more than 80 applicants requesting more than $500,000 in funding—left us with a funding gap that gets a little narrower each day thanks to the philanthropic leadership of Canadian Anglicans.”

When he joined AFC in 2016 as Executive Administrator, Dr. Scott Brubacher says, “Change was in the air.” The Foundation was at the mid-point of a 10-year strategic planning effort. “So many of our plans for the future were rallied around making ministry happen through change-oriented investments.”
