2025 is off to a great start at the Foundation office as we put the finishing touches on the Winter Foundation Update—watch your mailboxes in February!—and launch the 5th annual Say Yes! to Kids campaign. We also want to express our heartfelt thanks to all AFC supporters for our best annual fundraising campaign ever! Read more below.

Thank You Donors!

“Once again, AFC donors have responded generously to the annual fundraising effort, expected to total more than $205,000—$178,000 in annual membership donations, plus over $27,000 in donations to AFC’s core granting funds. It is always a joy to read your comments, celebrating the ways that we supported transformative ministry.”

“Seventy-five percent of SYTK survey respondents told us they use the campaign to create sustainable revenue for an ongoing ministry,” says Dr. Scott Brubacher. “We also heard how influential the AFC Angel Donor matching gift program has been. We are grateful to the lead donors who have championed this cause with donations totaling more than $100,000.”

Sacred Arts Legacy

The genesis of the Sacred Arts Trust was years in the making and was rooted in the late Graham Cotter’s years as a parish priest in the Diocese of Toronto. During those years, Graham promoted the making of liturgical vestments and the use of drama in worship. Since its inception, the trust has funded innovative faith-based projects in the performing and visual arts in more than thirteen dioceses.

Deadline Extended!

The submission deadline for the 2024 Request for Proposals (RFP) “Ecumenical Embrace” has been extended to April 1, 2025! AFC will continue to consider project applications from Anglicans across Canada who wish to share an ecumenical embrace with our fellow Christians from the Oriental Orthodox Churches.

April 1 Grant Window

The winter months are a great time to work on grant applications for AFC's Q2 grant cycle! Keep in mind that our staff team has shepherded hundreds of grant applications over the years, and we can help you with projects and programs in development. If you want to tap into some project expertise, or have questions about grant guidelines, please do not hesitate to contact the AFC team.

Gifts of Securities

More and more Canadian Anglicans are choosing to make a gift of securities to AFC. By donating publicly traded securities, you eliminate the capital gains tax that you would have to pay if you sold the securities and then donated the proceeds. You’ll also receive a charitable tax receipt for your donation. Visit our website for more details.
