Who May Apply

Grants are awarded only to nonprofit, charitable organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, and other eligible tax-exempt organizations.

The Foundation is not able to fund every worthwhile endeavor. We direct our support to those areas where we determine our contributions can have the greatest impact. To conserve resources, the Foundation does not consider more than one proposal from the same organization during each calendar year. Grants are limited to our target areas in amounts up to $30,000.

The Foundation generally does not consider requests for support in the following areas: annual campaigns, endowments, fundraising events, general operating support, individuals, requests of a political nature, large public charities, and government agencies.
