Grant Amounts and Frequency
Our grants are between $1,000 and $5,000. We will not provide support more than once per calendar year to the same organization, and we prefer to provide support on a year-to-year basis rather than make multi-year commitments.

Deadlines and Review Process
Our deadlines are the 10th of every other month beginning in January. Grant applications are reviewed and approved by the Foundation's board of directors. Please allow 60 to 90 days for review of your grant application.
