AJA Foundation | Water Grants (Rolling Application)

The Foundation accepts LOIs on a rolling basis (daily, no deadlines), and applicants can expect a response within approximately six weeks. Due to funding constraints, we are able to consider only one request per organization annually. If your request is declined, your organization will be eligible to apply again 12 months after the date of your declination.

Our application process begins with a short email to the foundation demonstrating how your organization’s program closely aligns with one of our four philanthropic pillars.  We will invite you to complete an application if we believe there is synergy and if the current year’s budget can support the request.

Themes funded:

Water: Because ready access to clean water is a critical component of overall health and directly impacts many other aspects of society including education, employment, the economy and gender equality, AJA Foundation has a particular commitment to providing renewable clean water in rural African villages.

Human Rights: AJA Foundation supports a wide variety of organizations globally that defend human rights, aid refugees and provide social services. Whether helping an individual or a particular community, we are particularly interested in combatting injustice and inequality by supporting solutions that address the root causes and/or address structural change.

Health: Our grantmaking in the health category supports organizations delivering high quality essential health services to those people unable to access or afford it. The majority of our focus is in developing countries.

Education: Our education grantmaking focuses on helping students who have generally excelled in school but lack the finances, curriculum or support to reach their full potential. We support a variety of programs in the United States and abroad that make tutoring, mentoring, advanced coursework and scholarships available to deserving students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.
