Areas of Focus

• Arts & Culture
  • Supports programs and organizations that enhance the quality of life in their community through music, visual and performing arts, and museums.
• Education
  • Supports programs that provide instruction for children and adults – most often outside the classroom – which are offered by established institution or nonprofit organizations, as well as programs that offer learning or community development opportunities.
• Recreation & Environment
  • Supports programs that engage children and adults in activities that improve or sustain the quality of their natural resources. Also supports programs that provide opportunities for children and adults to engage in sports, fitness, and health and recreational activities.
• Social Services
  • Supports programs that provide for important needs for children and adults, families, or community needs such as food, shelter, safety, clothing, and assistance for people with disabilities.
• Youth Development
  • This focus area is less formal than the four mentioned previously, and dates to the Foundation’s 2015 establishment of a Youth Initiative, recognizing that several youth-related concerns bubbled to the top of the priority list at that time.
• Diversity, Affordable Housing, and Unemployment
  • These initiatives from their latest Strategic Plan are getting new weight in the Foundation’s granting process.

(Note: Organizations are also encouraged to request and review the Foundation’s 2020 Strategic Plan to learn how your mission may dovetail with the Foundation’s strategic initiatives.)
