Where the money goes

Our grant making program supports new initiatives and innovative approaches to addressing community needs. Foundation grants also  strengthen our non-profit community and build community partnerships. Our giving is focused on arts and culture; basic human needs; community development; education; environment; health; women & girls issues; and youth and families.

Our primary grants program provides funding for periods up to one year, beginning July 1. Proposals are due in February of each year.

The foundation also hosts root2fruit, an innovative grants program that helps local grass roots projects to build the organizational capacity to thrive and succeed.
