How the program advances Foundation strategies
The Board meets four times per year. In 2013, the Board meetings will be held in March, June, August and November. Proposals should be submitted at minimum 45 to 60 days in advance to be considered at the next meeting of the Foundation’s Board of Directors. Foundation staff conducts due diligence, site visits, meetings, and assessment necessary to make presentations and funding recommendations to the Board. Grantees will be notified of grant approvals within two weeks of the Board’s decision.
