Accent on Architecture Grants

AAF’s Accent on Architecture grants assist local, non-profit organizations in producing innovative design-education programs for children. In past years, successful grant recipients have enlisted architects and other design professionals, educators, community leaders, and government officials to enrich the public’s understanding and appreciation of architecture and design. Accent on Architecture Grants have supported creative programming initiatives including television programs, symposia, design workshops, and teacher education. They enhance the visibility and public understanding of architecture and strengthen relationships between communities and local design groups.

AAF’s 2012 Accent on Architecture Community Grants cycle is now closed. To receive updates about the program, including information on future grant cycles, please join AAF’s mailing list.

AAF has awarded nearly 200 Accent on Architecture Community Grants since 1997.
