Sponsor determines an organization to nominate. (May be known, or not yet known to sponsor.)
Sponsor makes initial contact with organization (if unknown) via e-mail/ hard copy letter/ phone call/ in-person to:
Introduce yourself and the AFF (who we are)
Provide an invitation for the recipient to view the AFF website (include web address: affmn.org)
Include your contact information
Contingent upon a positive response from the candidate, a second contact will be made inviting them to apply for potential funding, providing the application website address: https://www.affmn.org/apply
Inform the candidate that a computer-generated response will be sent as their confirmation of a correctly submitted application.
Answer questions the candidate might have. Give a deadline for submission of the application.
Office support will alert the sponsoring member of the receipt of the application. As per the application form, Sponsor will send a follow-up communication after the form has been reviewed. Include information about the next gifting date (as appropriate).
Sponsor fills out the Recipient Nomination Form to be distributed to AFF Board members at least one week before the gifting meeting. The fillable form is below and the link to this page will be included in the meeting reminder sent approximately one month before the meeting.
After gifts are designated at gifting meeting, a letter will be sent with the check (by the AFF Board President) on behalf of the board, congratulating them and requesting a publishable statement and photos (as defined in the letter).
Unsolicited non-profits that submit requests through mail or the website are able to fill out a contribution request through the contact us form. If the applicant meets all qualifications, information will be forwarded to Board President for consideration. As appropriate, Board President will forward to a board member for sponsorship consideration.
