Fox Family Foundation grant awards are made with the following considerations:

• emphasis on Durham County primarily and the Triangle region — Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties secondarily
• organizational leadership
• breadth and evidence of impact
• financial health
• alignment of organizational and/or community priorities
• fit with the Foundation’s vision, area/s of support, approach, targets, and/or collaboration interests

For project-based grants, successful applications will answer these questions:

• Are the project deliverable/s and/or desired outcome/s clear and realistic given the proposed timeline and activities?
• Has the applicant clearly identified the resources necessary to carry out the work successfully?
• Does the overall project cost seems reasonable for the project as described and the aim/s to be achieved?
• As applicable, has the applicant already identified other necessary revenue or funding sources to support the project and/or established their capacity to raise additional funds needed?
