The foundation, which was founded in 1988 and has awarded $14 million in grants since, is looking for "positive, long-term impact projects that will have a positive, long-term impact on the people who live in our community," CEO Zosia Eppensteiner says in a press release.
Projects that include homelessness prevention, arts, health, conservation, and community development are welcome, as are proposals "that will have a positive, long-term impact on the people who live in our community," Eppensteiner says.
