| The Foundation issues a large number of
relatively small grants; this enables it to respond
to diverse interests. This also encourages applicants
to be resourceful and seek partnership funding from
other sources. Individual grants generally range
from $1,000 to $25,000.
Typically, grants are not given to meet operating
budgets, and the Foundation does not generally
make unrestricted grants. Grants are project-oriented
with the goal of supporting work which might otherwise
not receive the necessary funding. Grants are
for a one-year period or less, and applicants
should note that the Foundation is not to be considered
a continuing source of annual funding.
When accessing an applicant’s proposal,
the Foundation considers artistic merit, community
engagement, and fiscal responsibility. |
