WHAT WE FUND

We generally fund smaller qualified organizations where grants will be used for specific equipment, special projects, or focused initiatives. We prefer grants that make a specific and identifiable impact, especially positive impacts on people. Small organizations receive preference over larger organizations. Newer organizations that are approaching a breakthrough moment of impact may receive preference. Most grants are in the $2,000 - $6,000 range.

We have a consistent history of funding grants in these areas:

Early Education
Human Services
Special Needs and Disabilities
Youth Development

WHAT WE DO NOT FUND

We seldom fund salaries or general operating support, and we are unlikely to contribute toward large construction or capital improvement projects. We do not fund national organizations or the local/regional chapters of national organizations. Since we do not provide a continuing source of funding, we do not usually make repetitive or multi-year grants to the same organization. We do not make grants to individuals. We are unlikely to fund organizations with an annual operating budget of more than $3,000,000 (excluding in-kind contributions like food).

We do NOT have a strong history of funding grants in these areas:

Animal Health Protection and Welfare
Civil Rights and Liberties
Community Development Events
Museums
Recreation and Sports
Religious Organizations

GEOGRAPHIC AREA
Preference is given to applications received from organizations in close geographic proximity to Georgia and New England.
