The Foundation likes to see that applicants have sought and secured matched funding from elsewhere.
The Foundation’s preference is to support projects that are at a developmental stage or that are clearly innovative. It likes to fund activities that may not otherwise take shape without its support. Additionally, the Foundation prefers to fund projects in their initial stages that provide early intervention to society’s challenges.
Details of previous grant awards are available on the Foundation’s website.
