What We Fund

The Foundation prefers to provide funding for:

• Capacity building that will stimulate others to participate in processes designed to strengthen all aspects of an organization and its mission; participate in problem solving, leadership development, partnerships, collaboration, and policy change; and support organizational and institutional effectiveness and professional development.
   
• Innovative approaches for addressing traditional or emerging community needs that result in long-term, systematic, sustained solutions that consider the use of community impact models and result in measurable outcomes.
   
• Specific project/program initiatives or endeavors (as distinguished from general operating support).
   
• Projects designed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of an organization and strengthening of nonprofit executives through training and professional development.
   
• Seed money to help launch new projects, programs or initiatives.
