COVID-19 Emergency Response & Grant Updates
As we navigate through this time of crisis, Ausherman Family Foundation recognizes the importance of meeting the most pressing needs of our community.
Due to resources needed by nonprofits and foundations, the Trustees have opted to not accept Capacity Building Grants until further notice. However, if your organization has a grant request which would be considered Capacity Building, you may apply with a General Grant Letter of Intent (LOI).
Additional updates are available regarding grant process changes, resources for nonprofits, and how you can give back.
We wish you peace and health during this difficult time.
