ALTHOUGH THE MISSION OF THE FOUNDATION IS TO SUPPORT PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH, IT MAKES SMALL GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS IN NORTH CAROLINA AND CONNECTICUT THAT PROVIDE INNOVATIVE SERVICES FOR DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. HOWEVER, SUCH GRANTS ARE CUSTOMARILY SOLICITED BY THE FOUNDATION'S GOVERNORS. THEY ARE NOT RENEWABLE. DIRECT SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS LOCATED OUTSIDE THESE TWO STATES, AS WELL AS NATIONAL DIRECT SERVICE CHARITIES, WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR SUPPORT BY THE DIRECT SERVICE GRANTS PROGRAM.
