Priorities
On a National level, our priority is eradicating Hunger in our neighborhoods.  Specifically, we actively seek out organizations that feed our neighbors.  If your organization is working in this space, we request that you fill out an application. Upon review of your application, we may invite you to participate in our annual RFP in the fall.

Each of our regions also have other priorities.  To learn about priorities in your area choose your neighborhood.

Exclusions
Although we would love to help everyone, the Foundation generally does not fund:

  • Individuals or for-profit organizations
  • Political organizations or activities
  • Religious organizations for religious purposes
  • Capital or building campaigns
  • Advocacy programs
  • Meetings, conferences or workshops
  • Sports teams or athletic competitions
  • Other foundations or granting organizations
  • Fundraising dinners, galas, and events. We generally do not sponsor these events because the sponsorship is not fully deductible and because we prefer that our funds go directly to program services rather than offsetting event expenses.
