What They Don't Fund
Not publicly disclosed
Application Method
No unsolicited applications accepted. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited grant applications and is unable to reply to them if submitted. Applicants should monitor the Foundation's website for announcements about when grant applications will be accepted, including application materials and deadlines.
The Foundation operates primarily through donor-advised funds, endowments, and other charitable funds (~400 funds totaling $30+ million), where grants are directed by fund advisors rather than through an open application process.
