Grant submissions close on May 31, 2024

Due to the high volume of requests we have recieved this year,  we will close the grant submission window on May 31, 2024.

I am sorry to have to do this, but we want to keep the pipeline manageable and to be responsive to the organizations that have submitted their request.

Also, please be mindful of our guidelines:

• To apply, the recipient must be a qualified 501(c)(3) organization or a qualified Sponsor organization that is a 501(c)(3).
• The Foundation will target grants in the range of $5,000.00 to $50,000.00, but will consider grant applications for other amounts.
• The Foundation will consider requests for multi-year projects, but the grantee will have to report on predetermined stage gates and measures of progress and request subsequent year funds. Payments will not be automatic.
