- What to send
- Upon receiving a grant application, foundation officers evaluate requests and review their findings with the president, who decides whether, when, and how much to grant, considering officer recommendations. Successful applicants must show substantive programming that improves conditions and social welfare in targeted communities. Grant criteria require that funded activities lead to sustainable, measurable improvements. While unsolicited grants may be considered, the foundation focuses its grantmaking on the southeastern and southwestern u.s., but may award grants elsewhere. The foundation does not discriminate in selecting recipients and will not support organizations that discriminate by race, class, color, religion, or national origin. Grants are not made to individuals.
- Deadlines
- Grant requests are considered on a rolling basis throughout the fiscal year.
As the foundation reported to the IRS for tax year 2024. Check its website or call before sending anything, because contacts and deadlines change.
