BFA Hope Logo





BFA Systems established the non‐profit 501(c)3 organization BFA Hope as a means of serving the North Alabama community. BFA employees and families contribute donations to BFA Hope, and, in turn, BFA Hope distributes all donation monies to qualified charities and non‐profit organizations. BFA Hope raised over $8,000 in donations in 2008, and has recently awarded $8,000 in grants to three local Huntsville charities. BFA Hope is always seeking grant requests for annual donation awards. Please encourage your favorite charity or non-profit organization to apply.

Non-profit organizations in the northern Alabama region may apply for the 2009 grant cycle by contacting us.  All completed applications are due September 30, 2009.

The ARK The ARK

 "On behalf of The ARK, and especially the animals we save, thank you for selecting The ARK as a 2008 grant recipient. I sincerely appreciate the Board of Directors for their generous support of our efforts to help animals in need through BFA Hope. The ARK could never stay afloat without the support of caring citizens in our community. Community support has helped us rescue more animals each year. They are blessed to have such caring and faithful friends.

We are very excited about BFA Hope this year! Some new changes and opportunities for everyone are on the horizon. We have added additional seats on the board and we will establish a charity committee and membership committee. These committees will help identify charities and help review grant applications.
In 2008 several grant requests were received from deserving local organizations. BFA Hope is pleased to announce the following charities received grants FY 2008: The Enrichment Center ($3,500), Second Mile ($3,500) and The ARK ($1,000). Remember BFA Hope is our charity organization to help the community we live in. We look forward to your participation this year. With your help, this year will be a GREAT YEAR!
