All applicants must submit a brief letter of inquiry, not to exceed 20,000 characters, describing the grantee organization and the proposed project through our Grant Portal. You will be asked to upload an organization budget, program budget and list of board members.

Grants are awarded only to nonprofit public charitable organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation does not make grants to individuals or provide emergency assistance, nor do we support medical research, the direct provision of health care or religious education. We rarely make grants to support conferences, publications or media. On rare occasions, we will make grants for building renovations or other capital projects--but only to grantee organizations we know well and then only for projects that will directly improve or expand programs we support.
