Grantmaking

The Foundation board considers 20 – 30 nonprofit organizations in the spring and in the fall through its traditional grantmaking process and 10 – 20 organizations through its place based philanthropy process; thus, as few as 50 and as many as 80 nonprofit organizations receive grants each year.
