We defer to the expertise of the applicants to educate us on the funding needed to run a successful program. Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, focused on Outcomes and impact. The request amount must reflect the effectiveness of the proposed program and consider the specific needs and challenges of the communities involved.

Funding occurs annually. Receiving funding this year does not disqualify you from being considered for funding in the future.
