and consciousness of individuals and the public
We are a young organization and although our goals
are both ambitious and achievable, we have limited funding available
at this time. We are in the process of formalizing our fund raising
plans so that many more projects that help humanity can be funded.

in no way implies that it is without merit. All projects meeting
the board’s criteria will be invited to reapply. All proposals
will be reviewed and applicants for year end funding will be contacted.
Funds will be dispersed by the end of the calendar year or as determined by the board of Directors.
Please submit your proposal by September 15.
We wish you good luck and all the best in your endeavors.
