Staff assess alignment with program priorities, geography, nonprofit status, and the appropriate funding pathway.

02

Application Review

Competitive grants move through application review, due diligence, and, where appropriate, site visits.

03

Board Action

Recommendations are reviewed within the annual grantmaking cycle and recorded with clear reporting expectations.
