We invest in relevant and timely activities that use a cooperative approach to community building. Successful proposals will describe the essential work you do in the community, how it involves others in the community who need to be a part of truly successful problem-solving and long-term planning for our community’s future. We place the highest priority on ideas that fuel inspiring, actionable, relevant programs which:

• Reflect and promote the diversity of the communities we serve
• Advance equity and inclusion
• Leverage resources
• Cultivate neighborliness
• Link demonstrated needs with opportunities in our community
• Address and help resolve important existing or emerging community issues
• Facilitate cooperation and collaboration among organizations
• Lift community voices
• Catalyze change while building capacity
