PLEASE NOTE:
-
Periodically, the
Foundation may announce funding initiatives, possibly in conjunction
with other charitable funding organizations. In these cases,
the Foundation will publish a Request for Proposal with specific
guidelines and deadlines.
-
The Foundation will
also occasionally make Challenge Grants, whereby the recipient
charitable organization will be required to raise funds from other
sources in order to receive a matching gift from Mountainside Health
Foundation.
