• In addition, the organization must be qualified as 509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2) and such designation must appear on the IRS Determination letter.   If the organization is a 509(a)(3), a legal opinion must be attached.

What is the range of grants being awarded?

• Grants are currently ranging between $20,000 and $200,000.   A narrower focus may be determined at a later date.

Will the foundation be awarding grants for multi-year projects?

• Multi-year grants will be considered on a select basis.

• At the current time, it is recommended that organizations only submit one request a year.
• If a grant is not fully funded early in a calendar year, there is a possibility that the same grant will be considered later in the year for additional funding.

• Within sixty (60) days after a deadline, the organization should be notified whether the request was funded.
