BECAUSE THE FOUNDATION ACCEPTS ONLY A FEW UNSOLICITED REQUESTS FOR FUNDING, NO SPECIFIC FORM OF APPLICATION IS REQUIRED. A LETTER OR OTHER WRITTEN STATEMENT REQUESTING FUNDS THAT MEETS THE CRITERIA SET FORTH IN PART XV 2d WILL SUFFICE.

TO BE CONSIDERED, PROPOSALS WILL GENERALLY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC BENEFITS IN THE GENERAL PROXIMITY TO MUSCATINE COUNTY AND, TO A LESSER DEGREE, IN THE WASHINGTON, INDIANA AREA. FUNDING WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR SPECIFIC PROJECTS THAT MAY LACK OTHER SOURCES OF SUPPORT. EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ARE OFTEN CONSIDERED FAVORABLY.
