Agree with the comment that "It really helps to have an in at the foundation to guide your application. They prefer more story-telling grants rather than hard data."
There is not a lot of transparency or feedback for applications that are declined. It's hard to know how much to request and what kinds of programs they are interested in funding. It really helps to have an advocate for your organization during the review process.

Cons

Difficult to work with

We have reached out and reached out via email and telephone but have received no responses to any of our requests to talk to us. We do not understand why.

I wish ACF would dialogue with nonprofits to really determine their needs. They tend to fund more "sexy" projects, rather than what the group truly needs. It really helps to have an in at the foundation to guide your application. They prefer more story-telling grants rather than hard data.
