Applications are routed through the Foundation's Executive Director for initial review, and the Board of Directors reviews grant applications two times per year. Applicants must be non-profit, qualifying as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code for a minimum of 3 years. If your building is owned by others such as a Municipality, Town, County, State or Village, you must have a current Stewardship Agreement (contract or lease) for a minimum of 10 years. All grants require proof of a percentage match in place at the time of request, and all permits and written bids must be in place at application submission.

No more than two proposals may be submitted in one year by any single organization or entity. No more than 20% of the Matching funds may be in-kind. Institutional staff hours do not qualify for in-kind. Grantees must agree not to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of actual or perceived race, color, national origin, creed, age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, religion, mental and physical disability.
