An applicant organization must be exempt from federal taxation under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code in order to be eligible for funding.

The Foundation’s geographic focus is Georgia, Kentucky and Maine.

Although the Trustees occasionally approve multi-year projects they are the exception rather than the rule.

The Foundation does not make grants:

   *to individuals

   *for tickets to charitable events or dinners

   *for conferences or seminars

   *to sponsor special events, productions or performances

   *for political purposes

The Trustees normally make grants in keeping with these policies. In order to retain flexibility to respond to special circumstances or changing conditions, the Trustees may modify these guidelines from time to time.
