RestrictionsFoundation only considers requests that benefit the communities of the Foundation's local business area. The Foundation favors requests that target economic development; that help low-income communities; or that assist with job retention and training. The Foundation will not assist individuals raising money for trips, personal crisis, or medical problems; additionally, the Foundation will not assist individuals seeking pledges for charity walks or runs, though it may provide corporate sponsorships to qualifying events. The Foundation provides support for scholarship programs directly with qualifying schools in its operating region, and therefore does not contribute to other personal or individual scholarship fund-raising efforts.
