Whether you send us a letter of inquiry, or a proposal, three Foundation program staff review each request. We receive numerous requests for each cycle and so our staff cannot evaluate each proposed project in person or in a telephone conversation and will always ask that you put your inquiry in writing.


Once the deadline has passed and all pending requests have been read, program staff meet personally with the strongest applicants to evaluate the proposed project and visit the program site before making a recommendation to the Board.
