The website describes a two-step process beginning with an eligibility check and a letter of intent (LOI), which should briefly describe the organization, the need being addressed, and the project or funding request. Organizations generally need a U.S. 501(c)(3) or equivalent, or a U.S.-based fiscal sponsor. The website excludes for-profit endeavors, most internal-facing church projects and church ministry projects, most preschool or K–12 programs, and direct funding for lobbying; it says it may fund organizations that lobby. The foundation’s 2024 filing says grant requests must be submitted online and that it does not restrict giving to preselected organizations.
