Amarillo Area Foundation

The Amarillo Area Foundation (AAF) was established in 1957 with a mission to enhance the quality of life in the Texas Panhandle through philanthropy, grantmaking, and community leadership. Created as a community foundation, AAF was built on the vision of supporting local nonprofits, addressing regional challenges, and fostering sustainable growth across the 26-county area it serves. Over the decades, the foundation has evolved into a vital resource for charitable giving, providing scholarships, funding community projects, and facilitating initiatives in education, healthcare, and economic development. Through strategic partnerships and generous donors, AAF continues to uphold its legacy of strengthening communities and creating lasting impact in the Texas Panhandle.
