Other reasonable project requests that haven’t been covered in the categories
Your project may fall under several project categories. You may re-apply if your project isn’t funded in one quarterly cycle.
The Foundation is interested in tangible, actionable projects that are feasible to accomplish with the $10,000 grant and will make an immediate impact in your community.
If you have a larger project (i.e., 100-mile trail restoration), break it down into something that $10,000 could cover in full (i.e., 10-mile trail restoration out of our 100-mile project).
