“The Foundation considers requests from tax-qualified organizations (must have a successful track record of at least three years) for projects that support:
- Public school education, with an emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) as well as career and technical training in the skilled trades.
- Community Service organizations in one of our geographic funding areas (see “Where We Fund”) that otherwise meet our funding criteria and have a strong tangible or capital improvement need.
We prefer to support projects that:
- Fund tangible needs such as equipment, capital improvements and reusable materials that provide a long-term impact and enhance an organization’s effectiveness
- Serve a large number of people
- Reach a broad segment of the community, as opposed to limited sub-set of the population
- Provide a plan for independent sustainability, and do not require continued funding from the Foundation year after year
- Most projects are not eligible for funding from the Foundation on an on-going basis. We prefer to fund independently sustainable or “stand-alone” projects.”
