TO SUPPORT YOUTH OUTDOOR PROGRAMS

Demonstrate a clear local fit with Monterey/Mendocino county needs and align proposals to the foundation's stated priorities (youth development, outdoor education, academic enrichment, child mental-health, hospice, or arts). Use existing local partners or community intermediaries to request introductions to foundation staff; reference similar awarded programs and typical grant sizes ($10K–$30K). Although the website and portal are public, applications are issued by invitation, so prioritize relationship-building and concise, outcomes-focused materials for staff review.
