Recipients submit a letter requesting funds by a certain date. The letter details the purpose or mission of the organization and how requested funds will be used. The Foundation Board then reviews all letters requesting funds and discusses the merits of the organizations, the organizations' board and staff, their standing in their community, and the requested use of funds. Distributions are determined by Foundation Board vote.

While the Foundation does not require reporting, we request that the organization describe how the funds were used in writing. The Foundation retains request letters, correspondence, Board meeting minutes, bank records, and documentation of how funds were used for review and consideration in the future.
