A distribution committee reviews all proposals and makes recommendations
to the Board of Directors. The Foundation's fifteen member board makes final decisions on all applications at its winter
(February/March) meeting; applicants will be notified as soon as possible about decisions regarding each grant request. If
awarded a grant, the organization can receive payment by submitting a request for the funds at least two weeks before the
check is needed. Grantees are required to submit a final report to the Foundation upon completion of the funded project. Pictures
suitable for use in BAF publications are also requested.
The Foundation's staff welcomes the opportunity to discuss possible projects
for funding by the Foundation. Please feel free to contact us at 304-253-3806.
