OBJECTIVES: 
 The sponsor supports projects primarily in three areas of
focus: 

 Music--The sponsor seeks to foster the expansion of musical ideas
by supporting new projects which promote original programming and 
new
performers.  

 Education--The sponsor seeks to promote living environments in
which learning is a natural activity and a habit, rather than a
periodic task. The Foundation values critical and investigative
thinking, and supports projects which address class disparities in
educational access. 

 Grassroots Organizing--The sponsor encourages individuals and
grassroots groups to develop and enact activist strategies for
addressing institutional injustices, and for envisioning and building
a reasoned, just society. 

ELIGIBILITY
 Grants are available to 501c-3 organizations, projects with 501C-3
sponsoring organizations and individuals working on new, non-profit
projects.  Currently, grants are open to people and organizations
everywhere. There are no requirements of citizenship, and no
geographical limitations. 

FUNDING
 The sponsor makes grants only for seed money, or to launch new
ideas within existing projects. (cmb)
