Award Details
There are no limits on the size or duration of the grants that may be requested. However, while the foundation does consider and has made grant commitments for multiple years, it is not the practice of the foundation to provide permanent or continuous support for a project, program, or organization. As such, it is important that the applicant demonstrate their ability to sustain the work after the proposed grant period ends.
Nonprofit organizations must provide a match of at least 50%. Units of local government must provide a match of at least 75%.
