- Sponsorships or grants will not be awarded to for-profit organizations. To receive a sponsorship or grant an organization must be a 501(c)(3) or equivalent.
- Sponsorships or grants will not be awarded to an individual or political campaign, to any organization that discriminates in any manner, or to an endowment or foundation that is a grant-making or re-granting organization.
- The amount given will vary depending on the stated purpose of the event, project, or program.
- The number of organizations funded during any one-year period will depend on the quality of the applications received, the quantity of applications and available funds.
- Funding awarded will support programming for not longer than one year; however, organizations may reapply each year.
- Proposals for direct services are preferred; generally, unsolicited research and evaluation proposals are not preferred.
- Sponsorships or grants will not be awarded for capital campaigns, debt retirement or primarily to cover operational expenses.
