What We Do Not Support

Despite our best efforts, the Foundation does not have the resources to provide financial support to every worthwhile program and organization that works so diligently to tackle the growing social and economic needs of our communities. With this in mind, the Foundation will not consider proposals for the following:

  • Institutions, organizations or groups that are not tax exempt under IRS Section 501(c) (3).
  • Capital campaigns (includes endowments, new construction and building renovations, mortgage/rent/insurance/utility costs, vehicle purchases/repairs, infrastructure improvements, etc.).
  • Churches or other organizations whose purpose promotes a particular religious faith or creed.
  • Political parties, candidates, or public policy advocates.
  • For-profit activities, businesses, associations or organizations.
  • Tax-supported entities (excluding public schools).
  • Fraternal, social, union or hobby/recreational clubs or organizations.
  • Individuals or teams.
  • Sporting events, including charity golf outings.
  • Group or individual travel to conferences, workshops, seminars, competitions, etc.
  • Emergency or stop-gap funding.
  • Organizations whose mission, operating philosophy or activities conflict with company policy and could potentially damage the company’s reputation or could result in negative publicity for the company.
