Who we fund

The Foundation may respond to requests from national appeals, however, for consideration, their scope must provide local benefits. Organizations requesting funds from the Foundation will have projects which fall within the following categories: Education, Health and Welfare, Community, Civic and Athletic, Environmental and Special Projects. The Foundation frequently offers potential donation recipients a fundraising challenge as motivation to elevate efforts and stretch their fundraising goals.  The challenge element typically is a dollar-for-dollar matching or an additional donation for exceeding a predetermined amount.  These challenges are at the discretion of the Board.
