- How to Apply
-
The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests for funds. It says its primary method is internal Board selection, with no current submission requirements. Although some grants may be based on proposals received, the filing describes grants as directed primarily to qualifying public charities and certain other charitable, scientific, or educational organizations. For project grants and grants to non-public charities, the Board sets restrictions and limitations when the award is made. Grant agreements may require funds to be used for specified purposes, return of unspent funds, and reports at project completion or annually for projects lasting more than one year.
