Grant material must be submitted before the april 1 and october 1 board meetings.
Restrictions
The foundation has awarded grants to a variety of programs, including programs relating to the arts, education, services to the elderly, etc. That being said, however, the board has developed a non-exclusive focus on programs that benefit children (or provide services to children) with an emphasis on programs that deal with food, clothing, shelter and social values over other programs. The board prefers to consider grant requests for the funding of specific programs or projects before considering requests for general operating funds.
