Government entities and school districts in these counties also may apply, but preference will be given for support of community-engaged programs. Organizations are limited to one application.
To be considered, projects must align with:
- One or more of the “plays” (listed above, with more detail in the State of Play report);
- The above-stated values and will be given the highest priority.
Low priority will be given to requests for ongoing operational costs, capital campaigns, and annual fund drives. Requests for programming and/or capital costs may include equipment requests, including relevant medical equipment.
