The 20th Century Fund is a division of the AFTCA that, on a yearly basis, distributes funding to member clubs utilizing grounds and facilities throughout the United States.
This funding is generally in the amount of $18,000 – $20,000 total. In the past 12 years, over $228,000 has been awarded to enhance field trials and bird populations.
This is funded through private donations, club donations, “dog tax” on trial entries and return on AFTCA investments. Any field trial club using these grounds benefits from this funding. That is to say, not only AFTCA Clubs, but U S Complete, National Bird Hunters, American Bird Hunters, NAVHDA and AKC Clubs as well. The Fund would welcome the opportunity to grant more money, but this can only come from additional contributions from field trailers or field trial clubs. Be aware that all donations are fully tax deductible.
I urge you to seriously consider this request. Working together will no doubt enhance our sport. Any questions please contact me at ahwilcox@aol.com.
Thanking you in advance,
Hunter Wilcox VMD, Chairman, 20th Century Fund
