Grants

To make the most effective use of Apache’s resources and expertise, Apache has selected priority issues and key initiatives for investment.  Our main focus is education. We also provide grants in the following areas:  civic, arts and culture, conservation and the environment, and social welfare. 

General Guidelines

1. Organizations requesting corporate dollars from Apache must be certified as a “public charity” under the terms set by the United States Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c)(3) or as set by similar provisions of tax laws in the country in which the charity is located.
2. We do not fund annual tithes.
3. We do not fund building campaigns.
4. We do not fund individuals.
5. We do not fund religious activities, in whole or in part, for the purpose of furthering religious doctrine.
