Given the potential significant investment of a capital award, the foundation requests advance planning conversations with demonstration of feasibility of the capital campaign and project. To allow for more community-focused and opportunistic grantmaking capacity the Foundation is unlikely to fund significant capital gifts for the largest cultural organizations with operating budgets typically over $5 million.
