The Foundation’s filing states that it makes contributions only to preselected charitable organizations and does not accept unsolicited requests. Its grant application page, however, describes an application process: requests above $25,000 are accepted from February 1 through April 30 each year, while requests up to $25,000 are accepted year-round. Applications must be submitted online and are assessed for alignment with the Foundation’s giving pillars, demonstrated need, expected impact, cost and other criteria.

The application page says the Foundation supports national organizations working across the United States and/or Canada or in targeted regions, as well as local organizations in its priority communities. It lists examples of requests it does not fund, including event sponsorships, direct donations or grants to individuals, political campaigns and lobbying, building, capital or endowment campaigns, programs based outside the United States or Canada, biomedical or clinical research, and organizations whose primary purpose is re-granting. It also identifies eligibility restrictions relating to charitable certification and discriminatory activities.
