Catharine and Ernest Grant Trust.

Catharine and Ernest Grant strongly believed in the mission of the organization. Therefore, they established a trust in their name for further astrological research. This perpetual trust, established upon Catharine’s death in 1988, became available for AFA research projects in 2008.

Catharine and Ernest were among the founders of the American Federation of Scientific Astrologers. Later, they renamed it the American Federation of Astrologers. They had a wide-ranging interest in astrology and were leaders in the astrological community. The four books they wrote, entitled the Grant Textbook Series, result from their astrological knowledge and experience. Catharine saw clients for many years while Ernest taught astrology and promoted astrological research. He also served as president and executive secretary of AFSA/AFA. Ernest and Catharine are standing in the photo to the right, while LCDR David Williams and his wife are on the chairs.

Two trustees administer the trust by Catharine’s will. The late James H. Holden served as a trustee.

In 2009, the trustees introduced a grant to fulfill Catharine and Ernest Grant’s wishes to foster astrological research. The proposal was to reproduce every volume of Today’s Astrologer, AFA’s monthly publication, in pdf format.

The idea was to make this valuable astrological knowledge available to those interested in astrology. Volumes 1-10 and 11-20 are now available for purchase.
