  • Education
  • Human Services
  • Environmental Improvement

  • Address a significant need affecting a broad segment of the region’s population or special populations considered at risk.
  • Demonstrate organizational expertise in delivering quality services.
  • Document capacity to mobilize resources including financial support, in-kind support and volunteers to sustain programs.
  • Have established sound management and administration, including a clearly defined and effective governance structure and financial systems.
