Grant Considerations

We take many different aspects of applications into account when making grant issuing decisions, however these are some of the high-level questions we ask ourselves during the process:

  • How does the organization serve their key audience goals?
  • Is the organization fiscally responsible?
  • Will a grant have a tangible, meaningful impact?
  • Will we see direct results from this grant?
  • Does the organization have other financial contributors?

 

Grant Information

In 2022, the foundation made 31 grants and in total distributed approximately $3.25 million in charitable gifts.

 

Post Grant Requirements

After the grant is issued, the grantee organization is required to complete a final report of grant expenditures with financial and programmatic information.
