GRANTSGRANTS

Since opening our doors in 1995, more than $46.6 million in grants have been distributed from donor funds and organizational funds to do great things in the community.

Nearly all grants distributed by the Foundation represent grants from donor advised funds, which are created by donors and organizations to benefit their specific recommended charities.

At this time, the Foundation does not offer a competitive grant application for grants from its unrestricted funds.

The Foundation is working closely with donors and the community to help define strategies for making investments in the community as these unrestricted funds reach the levels needed to begin grantmaking.
