Community Pillars
When evaluating grant applications, we consider these community pillars to ensure a comprehensive and holistic approach to addressing community needs, fostering sustainability, and promoting social well-being. We will assess how the proposed projects align with these pillars and our passion for helping more people Live Greater.
Food and Housing Security
We fund initiatives for stable housing and food access, including homelessness solutions, affordable housing, community gardens, and food aid for vulnerable communities.
Financial Well-Being and Inclusion
This pillar fosters economic stability, knowledge, and social inclusion through financial literacy, services, and empowerment initiatives.
Community Health and Wellness
We prioritize community well-being. Our grants may support healthcare access, mental health, prevention, wellness education, and initiatives addressing community-specific health challenges.
Sustainable Communities
This pillar promotes responsible resource management, including waste reduction, conservation, community clean-ups, and environmental education.
