Requests We Generally Do Not Fund

While we would love to support all requests that we receive, there are some that we cannot, including:

• Solicitation and distribution activities on our premises by any community organizations.
• Fundraisers benefiting specific individuals or families. We dedicate charitable funds to nonprofit agency programs that provide direct assistance to people in need.
• Requests from faith-based agencies for religious purposes. However, we will consider funding programs offered by faith-based organizations that support all members of the community.
• Educational scholarships for individuals.
• Foundations and other organizations that collect donations to distribute. We prefer to make our donations directly to local nonprofits.
• Professional development seminars and conferences.
• Lobbying or political activities.
• Travel expenses.
• Adult non-professional sports teams.
• Pageants.
• Private clubs.
• Any organization or event outside our marketing areas, including national or international organizations.
• Golf tournaments.
• Celebratory events defined as galas, carnivals, festivals, fairs, etc.
• Fulfilling pledges of others.
