- Our strategic plan organizes the work into four programs driven by MR. Prebys' instructions and giving during his lifetime: visual and performing arts, youth success, healthcare, and medical research. As of 2024, our approach will put a priority on cocreating grants with partners in the community that align with our issue area goals. This will entail an ongoing grantmaking process rather than set grant cycles. We will use many different grantmaking tools as appropriate, including open applications, requests for proposals, invitationonly processes, and community-led grantmaking. We commit to rolling out these different processes and sharing information about funding opportunities throughout the year.
