ELIGIBILITY

The Foundation makes grants to non-profit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are not classified as private foundations.  It accepts proposals from January through April of each year.  Awards are made in December of each year.  Only written proposals will be reviewed.  Those applicants that have been turned down may re-submit one year after denial.  All applicants should understand that rejection of a proposal in no way means a rejection of the proposer.

 

There is no fixed minimum or maximum to the size of the grants, however, since the Foundation wishes to assist with capital projects it is preferred that the organizations will be considered only after the expiration of the grant period for any existing award from the Foundation.  The Foundation does NOT intend to become part of the annual budget of any organization.
