Special attention will be given to proposed projects that offer a high return on investment (e.g., an opportunity to create a synergistic effect on funding, increase the organization’s economic self-sufficiency, and/or a long-term benefit for organization), and demonstrate proven effectiveness with quantitative and qualitative data.Every applicant should carefully review the proposed request’s alignment with the foundation’s mission, values, and eligibilityrequirements.
