Important Note

Please note: PCGF supports organizations that do not intend to deny services, employment, or volunteer involvement based on age, ancestry or national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, physical or mental disability, or religion. It is not the intent of this policy to deny support for programs that serve specifically defined populations.


For programs that serve a specifically defined population, if your program is unable to fulfill a request for services, your program shall make an appropriate referral and assist the requester in identifying an appropriate agency.


The Foundation is an active investor. Trustees and staff visit funding agencies and review reports. Groups that welcome partnerships with funders are best able to utilize the Foundation’s assistance.


If your organization is approved to receive funding, we will request a final report at the end of your one-year grant.
