Each year funds are distributed to selected charities as core grants. These grants are unrestricted and may be used for general operations, capital projects or other initiatives.
Core grants are intended for larger established charities, with revenues in excess of $1M and a proven record of impact to the people they serve.
The Foundation's directors determine whether the recipient organizations align with the vision of the Foundation and meet our eligibility criteria and granting priorities.
No application process is required.
Each year funds are distributed to selected charities as strategic partnership grants. These grants provide funding for a specific project or initiative.
Strategic partnership grants are intended for smaller charities, with revenues under $1M. The grants are intended to fund projects and initiatives that will stimulate growth and maximize the impact of the organization.
These grants function as a true partnership in that if the Foundation funds a significant portion of a project, the grantee organization provides regular updates on the progress and impact of that project. Funding is limited to one project per fiscal year per grantee.
Our application process is by invitation only. We will invite organizations to submit a proposal when we have reason to believe their work is aligned with our vision, and determine if it is our desire to partner with that organization.
In addition to alignment of mission and vision, for core grants we prioritize charities that operate with excellence as evidenced by a record of good governance practices, strong management, and a proven commitment to strategic planning, execution of those plans and accountability to stated goals.
For strategic partnership grants we prioritize projects and initiatives that result in measurable improvement in the factors that gave rise to the project. We give preference to specific, time-limited initiatives with observable activities and quantifiable outcomes.
We also prioritize strategic partnerships with charities that desire to grow their impact, and continually strive for excellence in organizational management.
