- How to Apply
-
The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests. Its published guidance says that organizations funded within the previous 24 months may request renewed support and should submit a report on the prior grant with the renewal request. The website also describes support for new, expanding, or sustaining program services and general operating costs. It generally excludes capital campaigns, endowments, and building projects, and does not fund individuals, fundraising events, political campaigns or projects designed to influence legislation, or lending of funds. Because the 2024 filing is marked final, these published procedures should not be considered current application instructions.
