The Foundation awards grants starting from $25,000 to organizations working towards improving educational and health needs. The focus is on providing seed funds for innovative educational programs, though ongoing projects are also considered. Proposals can be for single or multi-year funding, up to a maximum of five years. Projects with the potential to extend beyond local geographic limits or serve as pilot initiatives for broader application are preferred. Grants are exclusively for nonprofit, charitable organizations exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Direct funding for construction, restoration, international programs, or indirect costs is not supported. Successful applicants are required to sign a grant agreement and submit progress reports as outlined in the grant agreement.
Grant renewed every year. Annual deadlines: January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, October 1st.
