com. From time to time, we release special RFP opportunities by invitation only for specific causes we identify as priorities. **Amount**Outside of a specific RFP, a first-time funded organization will typically receive a grant of $1,000 to $5,000.

Once we have some history with an organization, we will entertain a request at a higher value.

**Exclusions**Although we would love to help everyone, the Foundation generally does not fund: * Individuals or for-profit organizations * Political organizations or activities * Religious organizations for religious purposes * Capital or building campaigns * Meetings, conferences or workshops * Sports teams or athletic competitions * Other foundations or granting organizations * Fundraising dinners, galas, and events.

We generally do not sponsor these events because the sponsorship is not fully deductible and because we prefer that our funds go directly to program services rather than offsetting event expenses.
