Evaluation Criteria

Each grant application will be evaluated by the foundation board on the basis of three primary criteria:

1. The relevance of the proposal to one or more of the three primary areas of Foundation interest- health, education, and/or economic development.
2. The overall impact on the community at large.
3. The demonstrated sustainability of the project over the long term.

The Foundation’s board of trustees meet quarterly, typically in March, June, September and December.  Grant proposals are reviewed by the board at our June and December meetings, and must be received by the middle of the preceding month to be considered at that meeting.  Please contact the foundation office for specific review dates.
