      • Project description
      • What will success look like for proposed grant (intended impact on community)?

Getting to Know You

Prior to awarding grants we want to fully understand the vision, goals, projects, and current budgets of prospective partner organizations. We believe true impact comes through relationships and empowering those who are truly doing the work that creates progressive change. As we read the full grant proposals organizations are likely to hear from us for more information, site visits, or simply meeting for coffee.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]
