project-specific grants. Although most grants cover a one year
period. The Foundation accepts request for funding renewals
and makes multi-year grants (up to three years). The maximum
grant award will not exceed $5,000 yearly (the average
approved award is $2,000) . Each grant must provide evidence
of dollar match of 3:1 for each Foundation dollar awarded. The
Foundation makes a conscious effort to remain flexible, so
that it can respond to requests that address new, unusual, and
immediate problems as they arise. |
