Would your Foundation like to help others In-kind?
Whether you fund, or regretfully deny, programs that apply to your foundation, you may also wish to provide charities with an alternative way to furnish their offices, stock their shelves and supply their public. Every municipality throws away hundreds of desks, chairs, filing cabinets... daily. To stretch their project's dollars, please remind them to check out Craigslist, Freecycle and our Excess Access online wishilist matching system. If you like, we can provide tasteful, inclusive, ecologically conscious flyers to go in your application response letters.
