Most grants are made for program related activities, with some grants to support capital improvements and capital campaigns when special criteria are met.
Projects that are directed at the root causes of social problems are of special interest.
Grants are occasionally made for capital purposes when specific criteria are met:
- The organization requesting support clearly serves a under-resourced population.
- In instances where the Foundation’s support is likely to leverage much greater giving from other community sources such as government, corporations, individuals and other foundations.
- Where it is clear that an effective local campaign, involving extensive citizen participation and grassroots leadership has been or will be mounted. Note: Program grants, which include requests for capital items such as furniture, computers, video recorders, etc., are not included within this general policy.
