Programs
The AAA-ICDR Foundation’s four main grant programs include:
- Annual Grants: Organizations identified and invited by the Foundation
- ADR Scholarships Grants: Open application process as well as through university partnerships
- Rapid Response Grants: Organizations identified and invited by the Foundation
- Special Initiatives Grants: Potential grantees are identified by the Foundation and invited to apply
The AAA-ICDR Foundation has evolved its approach to funding. Rather than issuing an annual Request for Proposals (RFP), the Foundation now proactively identifies and invites organizations to submit proposals for consideration.
The program grants diverse students/professionals with up to $2,000 of financial assistance towards participation in a degree program or fellowship in alternative dispute resolution or attendance at a well-recognized conference. The mission of the ADR Scholarship Program is to encourage inclusion within the field of ADR by supporting the pursuit of knowledge and skill development through training experiences that encourage inclusive leadership growth in the field of ADR.
In addition to these individualized grants, the AAA-ICDR Foundation has established scholarships at Howard University and North Carolina Central University, two historically Black colleges and universities that offer certificates in dispute resolution programs in their law schools.
The AAA-ICDR Foundation established the Rapid Response Program to support critical programs outside of its regular grant cycle. The Rapid Response Program enables the Foundation to quickly award grants to organizations whose work fits the Foundation’s mission and addresses urgent current events. Grants awarded through the Rapid Response Program are generally $25,000 each. Potential grantees are identified by the Foundation and invited to apply.
From time to time the AAA-ICDR Foundation will pursue Special Initiatives outside of the Annual Grant Cycle that align with the Foundation’s mission. Potential grantees are identified by the Foundation and invited to apply.

The AAA-ICDR Foundation is currently reviewing its funding priorities to focus our efforts and deepen the impact of our grantmaking. Our commitment to advance mediation and conflict resolution practices by integrating them into alternative crisis response initiatives and support community-centered approaches to public safety and law enforcement engagement.
