The foundation’s 2024 filing says it does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only to preselected charitable organizations. A grant-program listing describes a Letter of Inquiry and full application process; it encourages early LOIs and says applications must be received by February 1, May 1, August 1, or November 1. The listing says an LOI submitted fewer than 10 business days before a full-application deadline may be reviewed in the next cycle. These application details do not change the filing’s stated policy of giving only to preselected organizations.
