The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests for funds and makes contributions only to preselected charitable organizations. Its application information says eligible applicants must be documented 501(c)(3) organizations. For a request, it lists a letter on organizational letterhead describing the organization’s mission and goals, service area and population, reason for the request, requested amount, and signed approval from the president or principal officer. It also requires IRS 501(c)(3) determination documentation, a recent profit-and-loss statement and balance sheet, the most recent IRS Form 990, the latest annual report if issued, and names, titles, and terms of board members and officers. The foundation says one set of documents must be sent by USPS after an application is initiated, with instructions provided after review. Its FAQ says the board meets five times a year, applications may be submitted throughout the year for review at the next appropriate meeting, and applicants are typically notified within two weeks after a review session. It also states there is a two-year waiting period between grant award dates before an organization may be considered again; approved funds are typically distributed within two to four weeks after required documentation is received.
