The Foundation will not consider requests for endowments, capital construction, deficit financing, scholarships, fellowships, loans or grants to individuals.

Pre-Application Information:

The first step in applying to the Foundation is a short letter of inquiry. The foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals.

All letters are reviewed to determine if they fall within the Foundation’s priority areas. Those that do not are immediately declined. Projects that fit within the Foundation’s priority areas will then be asked to prepare a full proposal for consideration by the Foundation’s Board of Directors.

The Board makes funding decisions two times a year in the spring and the fall. Proposal deadlines are June 1 and December 1.

Final decisions on proposals are made by the foundation’s board of directors, which meets twice a year. You will be informed of the board’s decision immediately following the board meeting at which your proposal is considered. It may take up to six weeks to receive notification.
