They prioritize building community capacity to care for these youth and providing therapeutic placements and services.

However, they do not fund fundraising events, scholarships, professional conferences, symposiums, performances, competition expenses, or endowments. To apply for a grant or submit a letter of inquiry, organizations must create an account through the foundation's online portal. The portal also provides a help guide with instructions on creating an account, submitting applications and reports, and troubleshooting. Preliminary meetings are discouraged due to time constraints; instead, applications or letters of inquiry are reviewed by the staff. If a meeting or site visit is deemed necessary, the organization will be contacted. If a grant request is approved by the foundation's board, a grant award letter and contract will be sent to be signed and returned before payment can be made. Organizations funded by the foundation must provide a full report on previous grant expenditures and outcomes as stated in the grant contract.
