AAF's Accent on Architecture grants assist local, non-profit organizations in producing innovative design-education programs for children. Successful grant recipients have enlisted architects and other design professionals, educators, community leaders, and government officials to enrich the public's understanding and appreciation of architecture and design. Accent grants have supported creative programming initiatives including television programs, symposia, design workshops, and teacher education. They enhance the visibility and public understanding of architecture and strengthen relationships between communities and local design groups.
