Grants are made generally to organizations that are
tax-exempt under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).
Funding has traditionally been for innovative and
creative programs primarily in the areas of education, health, and
human social services.
The Foundation responds more favorably to grant
proposals coming from organizations in Southern California and Colorado.
With rare exception, the Foundation does not
support capital campaigns, endowments and building projects.
Grants are generally not made to large, public
charities. Instead, the Foundation prefers to fund community-based
organizations that deliver direct support & services to local
populations.
The Foundation will not support organizations that
discriminate in their leadership, staffing, service provision or
on the basis of age, gender, race, ethnicity, disability, national
origin, political affiliation, religious belief or sexual
orientation.
