The Paul Lauzier Charitable Foundation is seeking proposals for its grant program to support community development, youth programs, public health and safety, education, and agriculture.

The Paul Lauzier Charitable Foundation provides funding annually. The foundation also provides support in the form of long-term grants disbursed over several years. The foundation will consider funding requests for program support, equipment, and capital projects.

The foundation prefers to fund programs and projects geographically located in rural communities in central and eastern Washington, with an emphasis within Grant County.

The Paul Lauzier Charitable Foundation will NOT:

• award grants to individuals;
• award grants for salaries, debt retirement, political campaigns, tuition assistance, or any non-exempt activity;
• award grants to organizations that discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, gender, religion, or physical ability.

Criteria

• Grants are made subject to the condition that a selected organization is a nonprofit tax-exempt entity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to which a gift qualifies as a charitable contribution under Section 170(c) and as a charitable deduction under Section 2055 (a) and Section 2522 (a). Schools, towns, cities, healthcare entities, and governmental agencies may also apply.
