We have particular interest in funding innovative projects rather than ongoing maintenance or capital campaigns, with priority given to moderately-sized projects for which the foundation's contribution can comprise a significant portion of the project's budget. We also give priority to projects that have high leveraging potential in terms of expansion and/or replication.

We are currently most interested in funding programs in the following areas (in alphabetic order):

• Elder services
• Environmental stewardship
• Health care
• Preservation of personal rights
• Training for the disadvantaged
• Welfare and education of children
• Women's Issues
