Only one request for a specific program or project will be considered from any agency in a calendar year.
An agency may only receive one community grant within a calendar year.
Agencies that have been awarded a program grant or after-school grant are not eligible.
Grants are primarily awarded for direct service and should not include capital purchases such as computers or space renovations. Select requests for essential capital equipment may be considered – call the Foundation before submitting any capital request.
