The foundation’s stated objective is to advance educational, religious, scientific, and charitable purposes, including making distributions to organizations qualifying as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Its website describes education and healthcare as focus areas. Examples include support for local schools and hospitals, educational opportunities for young people, and healthcare initiatives.
Its 2024 grants illustrate support for a range of organizations and needs.

The foundation says applications are submitted online and reviewed by its board. Its instructions request a copy of the organization’s IRS 501(c)(3) exemption letter, the prior year’s actual profit-and-loss statements, and the current proposed budget. Applicants are asked to answer every question and explain any omissions. The website says funding is strongly considered for tangible needs, capacity-building purchases, direct and immediate impact, and itemized requests with associated costs. It says applications are unlikely to be approved for such costs as salaries, rent, utilities, advertising, third-party funding, university scholarships, retroactive costs, and loans, or for organizations with discriminatory policies or practices. Approved grantees must spend the funds and submit a detailed report within six months; failure to report makes them ineligible for future applications.
