No, organizations cannot apply for this funding. Charitable Grants are one-time $25,000 grants to Indianapolis nonprofit organizations based on a funding theme that reflects the pressing needs in Indianapolis. Grantees are selected annually by the Fairbanks Foundation Board of Directors based upon that year’s determined funding theme.

2006年8月,前总统乔治·W·布什签署《2006年养老金保护法》成为法律。除其他变化外,该法案对理查德·M·费尔班克斯基金会等私人基金会向被称为支持组织的慈善组织提供赠款施加了更严格的法律限制。为了避免国税局因未遵守《养老金保护法》中的规定而可能实施的处罚,我们的法律顾问建议基金会对所有多年补助金接受者实施年度免税身份认证流程。认证过程有助于基金会确保组织的免税地位自最初授予资助以来没有发生变化。基金会的认证流程不适用于市政公司或一年期赠款接受者。有关养老金保护法的更多信息,请访问 基金会理事会 网站。
