IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2023:
Due to ongoing market volitality, the Swantz Family Foundation will focus its 2023 giving on supporting current grantees. We regret that we are unable to
accept proposals from organizations who did not receive funding from our foundation in 2022.
We hope that by taking this year to conserve our resources that we will be able to rebuild our assets and reopen our RFP process in 2024. Please check back in
January 2024 for updates.
