The Affinity Foundation has committed $360,000 to several nonprofit organizations for the next three years.

The Affinity Foundation and its Board of Trustees are pleased to announce the launch of the Foundation’s new multi-year grant program. This program will provide significant funding opportunities to community partners who serve disadvantaged populations in support of programs that align with the Foundation’s three pillars of focus: education, financial wellbeing and healthcare. The Foundation has committed $360,000 to six organizations, which is its biggest contribution since its founding in 2005. Each nonprofit will receive $60,000 over three years.

“We are extremely proud to launch this program. Multi-year grants provide reliable grant revenue that leads to transformational results, and yet they are incredibly hard to find. Each of these worthy organizations will now be able to implement a program or project they would not have been able to otherwise.”
