The foundation aims for a measurable impact within this area, benefiting a substantial number of residents. Grantmaking priorities reflect a strategic approach, favoring capital or special projects over general operational use, and prioritizing grants that can be matched by other funding sources. This indicates a desire for sustainable and leveraged impact. The foundation's program areas are diverse, encompassing arts, culture, and humanities, education, environment, animals, health, human services, public/society benefit, and religion. This wide array demonstrates a commitment to holistic community development. The average grant size ranges from $5,000 to $15,000, with an average total annual giving of $175,000, suggesting a focus on supporting multiple impactful initiatives rather than a few large-scale projects.
