Future funding
No assumptions should be made that funding from the Foundation will be available for any projects in subsequent years. The project should demonstrate potential for continuity of funding.

Proposal review process
A committee will review each proposal. The Foundation board will make final grant decisions. The board's decision is final and is not subject to review or appeal. All applicants will be notified in writing of the board's decision. We expect to receive many more requests than can be funded. If your proposal is declined, it does not mean that it lacks merit.
