WHAT ARE THE GRANTS OF RAFI?

RAFI provides more opportunities by making grants available for program and interventions
designed to uplift human dignity and lead to community transformation. RAFI works with other
stakeholders in achieving these goals through its two grant-giving programs, the RAFI Education
office (formerly known as the Office of Humanitarian Relations Services) and the Dolores S. Aboitiz
Children’s Fund (DACF).

DACF focuses on programs or interventions for children. Program clientele/beneficiaries can be

normal children up to 17 years old as defined by the United Nation Children’s Rights Commission
and special children whose age can be higher.

Meanwhile, the RAFI Education office focuses on programs or interventions addressing marginalized
or vulnerable sectors of the youth and adult population.

RAFI provides financial support under two funding categories—RAFI Development Fund and
RAFI Executive Fund.

The RAFI Development Fund is a grant facility for long-term programs or interventions of
eligible partner institutions whose programs are eligible as defined under RAFI’s set criteria.

Programs/interventions under this call shall go through a standard screening and evaluation
procedure to determine the merits of the program and the credibility of the proponent.

The RAFI Executive Fund, on the other hand, is another grant facility for short or medium
term program / interventions or requests for special assistance (e.g. medical assistance,
emergency and disaster relief, small-scale infrastructure projects, scholarships, and
sponsorships and donations) of eligible partner institutions or those endorsed by the
members of Executive Committee or Board of Trustees.

Recipients of this fund need not go through the standard screening process as the RAFI
Development Fund grantees. However, program/project implementation shall still be
monitored and evaluated.
