AMC Theatres is accepting applications for the first AMC Cares Charitable Fund Annual Grant process. Interested organizations may apply for a grant that may include cash awards, national onscreen advertising, AMC annual passes, AMC theatre screenings or individual movie passes.

The fund will focus grantmaking on organizations with the primary mission of serving children and enrich their lives through arts and culture, health and human service, education or employment. Requested amounts should not exceed 25% of the proposed program budget.

Grantees that serve AMC's largest geographic locations - Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Kansas City - may be considered with greater priority.

All grant recipients will be notified by August 17, 2013. Attendance by an appropriate organizational representative at the AMC Invitational at The National Golf Club of Kansas City on September 17, 2013 is required to activate awards. Any applicant not granted an award in 2013 will be kept on file for consideration during the 2014 grant application process.

AMC’s ‘In the Community’ page (above) has lots of other nice information about their efforts to AMC Giving Back & Matching Gift Programs, their Community Pass Donation program, their AMC Associate Scholarship Fund, and their involvement with "Choose (RED) Save Lives" initiative, the Summer Nights program which benefits the Will Roger's Foundation, Autism Speaks, and The Autism Society, and Sensory Friendly Films which provides special opportunities for families impacted by autism and other disabilities to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment.
