Granting Guidelines

To be considered for a grant, applicants must provide services within our 14-state footprint.

Applications are accepted year-round and are evaluated based on alignment with the Auto Club Group Foundation’s priorities, project description, project outcomes and available budget.

Grants typically range from $5,000 - $15,000. Grants above that threshold can be awarded at the Foundation’s discretion.
