Restrictions

We do not provide support to individuals, and do not provide funding for scholarships or tuition assistance for undergraduate or postgraduate studies. We also do not fund religious organizations and institutions when the resulting impact of the project is primarily denominational. We do not fund election campaigns, political activities, or general fund-raising drives. Our grants are subject to a matching requirement only newly received gifts of cash or securities, in hand, valued at the time of transfer, and designated for our supported project, qualify as matching contributions. Pledges do not qualify if we award a matching GRANT we may pay matching funds in installment amounts specified in our award letter.
