The Foundation is interested in engaging diverse groups and organizations, including those that have limited experience receiving grants of
this size. We do require that the awards go to an organization that has the capacity to manage awards of this size, either directly or
with the benefit of technical assistance. Smaller organizations with more limited administrative and financial capacity may demonstrate
how they can rely on technical assistance or may engage another organization, such as a fiscal sponsor, to apply for this award and oversee
and manage the grant. Please see the frequently asked questions (FAQs) for additional information on technical assistance and fiscal sponsors.

To be considered for a grant, applicants must meet all of the following eligibility criteria:

• Awards will be made to organizations, not to individuals. If your group does not yet have an official organization [such as a 501(c)(3)
  or an LLC], then you must identify an organization, such as a fiscal sponsor that will submit the application; oversee the grant; receive
  and administer grant payments; monitor the use of grant funds; and submit annual and final reports to the Foundation.
• Applicant organizations must be based in the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands,
  Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands; and
• Applicant organizations must demonstrate the capacity to manage awards of this size, either directly or with the benefit of technical assistance.
