Supported Charities

A sampling of recent Foundation grants is below. The Foundation’s grants can range from $1,000 to $100,000 or more, but most gifts currently are under $20,000. Very large gifts are made only when the Foundation identifies an extraordinary opportunity, on a one-time basis, to do something especially important.
