- An eligible organization may only submit one application per year.
Ineligibility
Grants generally do not support: annual giving campaigns, endowment funds, deficit funding or debt retirement, sectarian religious purposes, partisan political purposes, private primary and secondary schools (except for projects or programs that are not directed toward the school’s students or staff and that directly address community needs) and private clubs, or activities taking place or expenses incurred before grant decisions are made.
