About the Funding Process
Each quarter, our donors receive a list applications and can provide feedback to our Board. Together, we collaborate to select funding recipients.
The amount of funds we distribute each quarter varies because we are funded by donations. We select at least one group each quarter.
Successful projects and/or their applications are published on our Recipients page. We will not publish your contact information.
Recipients are required to report back to our board at 3 and 6 month intervals, as well as shortly after the project end date, to elaborate on how the funds were used. Grant Agreement and Reporting Forms will be sent to successful recipients.
