The Foundation will only consider organizations that have received tax exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) under the Internal Revenue Code. Organizations must be appropriately recognized by state statutes, laws and regulations that govern tax exempt organizations.

Priority consideration will be given to proposals for programs that improve the quality of life for those who are at-risk and economically disadvantaged without extenuating medical conditions or circumstances.

Following The Foundation's due diligence, a recommendation will be presented to the Grants Committee and, if approved, the Committee will submit a recommendation to the Board Chair for a final funding decision.

Funding of approved projects will be made based on the timeframe established by the Board of Directors at the time of grant approval. Note: There are no pre-set application deadlines. The Foundation awards grants throughout the year.

After a grant is awarded, The Foundation will work with the organization to monitor outcomes and compliance with the requirements established in the commitment letter -- generally a progress report halfway through the grant and an impact report at the conclusion.
