About

Non-competitive grants are processed through designated, agency, and donor advised funds. Designated and agency funds are generally distributed during first quarter of the calendar year, unless specified by a distribution payment schedule. Donor advised funds are processed throughout the year. Donor advisors may recommend grants to qualified charitable organizations, but the foundation retains full discretion of disbursement approvals. The foundation established its first designated endowment fund for the philanthropic and programmatic work of the collaboratory through the generosity of inspired philanthropists. The collaboratory is an impact investing initiative designed to support the vital work of the region's nonprofit organization and community members.
