What Does The Foundation Do?

Through trustee banks, the principal of each fund is invested in order to produce distributable income. After an initial incubate period, earnings are dispersed as grants. These grants are given to a wide variety of charitable organizations in accordance with the provisions of the agreement creating each fund. The areas in which the Foundation makes these grants include the arts, education, health, human services, recreation, and other charitable causes.

How Does The Foundation Work?
