Thanks to the generosity of donors establishing unrestricted
and field of interest endowments, the Foundation has a vibrant grant making
program. In the fall and spring, community agencies are invited to submit
grant applications in support of innovative, start-up and capital projects.
All grants are reviewed by the Foundation's Distribution Committee and
are awarded based on an evaluation of creativity, need and community priority.
Since inception, income from Unrestricted Funds has provided approximately
2 million dollars to community projects. In addition, Philanthropic Funds
(donor advised) and distributions from Designated and Agency Funds have
funnelled over $10 million dollars into the community.
