If I could give this foundation a ZERO star I would! Don't even bother wasting your time. They have in their history that they started with only $1000.00 and have now grown to $500,000,000.00! You know how they grew? They boasted and boasted that they would help members in the Triad area. Bullocks! They KEEP the money and "keep growing." They don't REALLY grant grants. They have a facade that they do. They give grants to people with established revenues. What about organizations that could use some help, as they once did? They faked their way into being in top 40 foundations in the U.S. ...disappointed! Donors, stop donating and donate to organizations that are really trying to make a difference.
