Objective
The Chapter Matching Grant program is designed to promote
aerospace education activities at the chapter level. The
program allows AFA National to assist aggressive chapters
who are working actively with local educators and
organizations to develop and promote new educational
activities and events in math and science.
Requirements/Selection Criteria
- The chapter president must submit the Chapter
Matching Grant form completely filled out with a one-
page typed narrative. The narrative must outline the
activity and the measures the chapter is taking to
promote education in math and science in their community.
- The request must equal the amount of funds the
chapter plans to contribute to the event/activity with an
annual ceiling of $1,000. Chapters may submit more than
once during a calendar year, but may not exceed the
annual ceiling of $1,000. The minimum grant submission is
$200.
- A one page after-action report of the activity or
event with photographs is required. If the report and
photos are not received from the chapter in a timely
manner (30-days after the event), future grant
submissions will be returned without review.
- The grant may not be used for the funding of annual
programs and is not a free money program just for having
an AFA program.
Grant Allocation
- Funds are mailed to Chapter President, matching
amount of funds spent by chapter.
- No chapter will receive more that $1,000 in grants
per year.
Guidelines
- AFA is looking for enthusiasm and creativity
from local chapters. Chapters that are working actively
with local educators and organizations to reach out to
the community have the best chance of receiving a grant.
- Our staff review all grant applications and
final approval is made by the AFA President. Chapters are
notified within four to six weeks of approval or
non-approval.
- The grants may be used for...
- Science fairs or special science and technology
programs
- Field trips
- New aerospace educational activities with
school, JROTC and ROTC
- Career Days
- The grants may not be used for...
- Scholarships
- Non-math/science activities
- To pay for the chapter's share of Visions of
Exploration
