The Foundation gives the highest priority to eligible organizations and projects that best align with our mission and areas of concentration, located in the communities in which the Trustees live. Organizations that fall outside this geographic scope are considered only under special circumstances. The Foundation considers proposals for grant amounts of $5,000 and higher. Multi-year funding requests may be considered.

We concentrate our resources in the following areas:

• Enhancing education and health care
• Supporting faith-based organizations
• Fostering pro-life
• Providing opportunities for the poor and under-served
• Developing the arts
• Promoting environmental responsibility

Organizations requesting funds must be tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The Foundation will not consider funding requests for the following:

• Mass funding appeals
• Sponsorships, except for special circumstances
• Tickets or advertising for fundraising events
• Grants or loans to individuals
• Political campaigns or activities
• Any organization supporting or affiliated with abortion

Please contact us if you should have any questions or require further assistance.
