The Foundation solicits proposals from ANY AFCEA Chapter for projects which deserve support and which may be expanded to Association-wide programs.  These Initiative Grants are intended to fund projects planned in addition to an existing chapter educational or scholarship program.

Factors used in judging the comparative worth of the proposals are:

• Impact
• Enduring quality
• Target audience(s)
• Chapter participation (financial and personnel)
• Relationship to AFCEA's field of endeavor

The Board of Directors encourages chapters to include a plan for matching the funds provided by the Foundation for these Initiatives projects.
