John Sage Foundation Evaluative Criteria for Proposals:
Does the grant request meet the mission of the John Sage Foundation?
Will the project benefit the relationship between many people and the environment, or reach a group which is underrepresented?
Will John Sage Foundation’s participation make a substantial difference to this project?
While the Foundation generally likes to fund a variety of projects, it will consider giving the majority of its funds to a single entity in any grant cycle.
