*Please note: Applications for capital projects will be reviewed once per
year after the October 1 deadline.
Organizations that receive funding will be eligible to apply for another grant one year later. Qualified applicants who do not receive funding may re-apply as often as they choose.
Criteria

competitiveness of any application.
