The Foundation will not provide funding for “Unrestricted” purposes. It is difficult to establish a series of guidelines covering all cases in the complex field of corporate philanthropic gifts. Hence, a particular request may occasionally receive favorable consideration for special reasons even though it may not appear to conform to the normal eligibility criteria.
Ineligibility

Religious organizations whose programs benefit members of one religious group only (non-religious programs, open to all, may receive consideration even though they are sponsored by a religious organization)
Political organizations or organizations that are primarily political in nature or whose purpose is, or may be, to influence legislation at any level
