Programs & Priorities
Preferred Types of Grant Requests
Primary area of interest:
Programs focusing on children 0-5 and their families are a primary focus of this foundation, although programs for children up to age 18 are considered. It is the intent of the founders to offer support for specific projects that focus on our target population, and hopefully, can affect societal change.
We would like to see a reemphasis on those projects that make us a better world citizen: critical thinking skills, knowledge of civics, tolerance, geography, a broader multicultural understanding and environmental awareness and stewardship.
