In addition we have a new Initiative for small grants.Through our “What If” Mini-grant Initiative, the Foundation seeks to fund neighborhood associations made up of concerned citizens as they work to develop their neighborhood’s resources and assets.  This includes supporting efforts that encourage inclusion of diverse populations in decisions that affect their community. Please visit the "What If" Initiative page to learn more.
