Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible, organizations must qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Limitations
- The Foundation only considers requests for project sponsorships. The Foundation does not accept funding requests for general operating, capital campaigns, or endowment support. The Foundation does invite proposals for innovative programs, performances, publications, etc. specifically in the areas of the arts, music, culture and education.
- All specific programs, performances, publications, etc. must be scheduled to commence 12 months or more from the proposal submission deadline of February 15, 2026 (i.e., commencing after February 15, 2027).
- Any Grantee receiving a distribution of funds from the Foundation must wait a minimum of one year before applying for a new grant (for example: if a Grantee receives a grant payment from the Foundation in 2025, then the grantee cannot apply for a new grant until 2027). This is regardless of whether the distribution is made within the same fiscal year as the proposal was granted or from a previous application.
- While not specifically prohibited, multi-year grants are discouraged and less likely to be approved. Further, with limited exception, grant requests over $50,000 will not be approved.
