I am a member registered as the Reiling Family Foundation and I have a question. What information/suggestions to you have regarding asking for grant application via category. Such as: Education, Health and Wellness, Family, Culture, Environment, Preservation, Recreation. Do you like grouping applications this way. Thank you for your insight.
