First Steps
Review the Foundation’s Mission and Values, Geographic Focus, Capital Project Restrictions, Charitable Status Requirement and the Program Areas supported in order to determine:
- Your organization's eligibility to apply for Foundation support;
- The degree to which your project or program aligns with the Foundation Program Areas.
