GRANTEE HAS NOT DIVERTED ANY PORTION OF THE FUNDS FROM THE GRANT'S PURPOSE. 04/01/2025 NO VERIFICATIONS OF THE GRANTEE REPORTS WERE DEEMED NECESSARY. GRANT PROCESS AND APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FORM 990-PF, PART XIV 2B MISSIONOUR MISSION IS TO HELP PEOPLE LEARN A PRACTICE OF INNER, SILENT AWARENESS, WHETHER IT'S CALLED MINDFULNESS, MEDITATION, OR CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER. OUR FOCUS IS SHORT-TERM PROJECTS WHERE A SMALL GRANT CAN MAKE A BIG IMPACT. ALL THE TRUST'S WORK REFLECTS OUR FOUR BASIC PRINCIPLES. FIRST: WE BELIEVE CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICE CAN HELP HEAL OUR FRACTURED WORLD. RESEARCH IS JUST CATCHING UP WITH WHAT THE WORLD'S CONTEMPLATIVE TRADITIONS HAVE LONG KNOWN: PAYING QUIET ATTENTION TO THE PRESENT MOMENT CHANGES US. WE GRADUALLY COME TO KNOW A LEVEL OF AWARENESS BENEATH OUR THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS, A LEVEL MORE ENDURING AND UNITED. THAT AWARENESS CAN HELP US BECOME MORE FULLY HUMAN, TO SEE OUR INTERCONNECTIONS AND TO ACT WITH GREATER COMPASSION IN THE WORLD. SECOND: WE BELIEVE THE WEST NEEDS TO RECOVER ITS OWN CONTEMPLATIVE TRADITIONS. MANY PEOPLE THINK OF MEDITATION AS AN EXCLUSIVELY EASTERN RELIGIOUS PRACTICE. BUT WESTERN RELIGION, TOO, HAS A LONG TRADITION OF SILENT, NON-DISCURSIVE PRAYER, OFTEN CALLED CONTEMPLATION, WHICH IS ROOTED IN A RICH MYSTICAL LITERATURE. CONTEMPORARY THINKERS ARE UNEARTHING THIS TRADITION. THEIR FRESH ENCOUNTER WITH THE GOSPELS AND MYSTICS EMPHASIZES THAT GOD IS A LIVING PRESENCE IN US TO BE KNOWN IN SILENCE AND LOVE AND MANIFESTED IN OUR ACTS OF COMPASSION. THIRD: WE BELIEVE THAT SECULAR MINDFULNESS MEDITATION CAN REACH PEOPLE OF ALMOST ANY AGE OR CIRCUMSTANCE. TODAY, MINDFULNESS SEEMS TO BE EVERYWHERE, BUT AS ORIGINALLY INTRODUCED BY JON KABAT ZINN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, MINDFULNESS WAS A REGULAR, FORMAL MEDITATION PRACTICE OF PAYING ATTENTION TO THE PRESENT MOMENT WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. THIS IS THE FORM WITH DECADES OF RESEARCH BEHIND IT AND THE FORM THAT TRUST GRANTS SUPPORT. FINALLY, WE ARE CONVINCED THAT SMALL EFFORTS MATTER AND THERE'S ALMOST ALWAYS ENOUGH MONEY TO DO SOMETHING THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AS A SMALL FOUNDATION, WE ROUTINELY LOOK FOR WAYS A SMALL YET PIVOTAL GRANT CAN IMPACT ORGANIZATIONS AND MOST IMPORTANT, PEOPLE'S LIVES. WHAT WE FUNDTHE TRUST MAKES GRANTS IN TWO AREAS: CONTEMPLATIVE CHRISTIANITY AND MINDFULNESS MEDITATION. OUR FOCUS FOR BOTH IS SHORT-TERM PROJECTS WHERE A SMALL GRANT CAN MAKE A CREDIBLE IMPACT AND RESULT IN CLEARLY IDENTIFIABLE OUTCOMES. WE MAKE 20 TO 40 SMALL GRANTS ANNUALLY OF $3,000 TO $5,000. THE TYPE OF PROJECTS WE FUND INCLUDES: - COURSES, WORKSHOPS, LECTURES, OR RETREATS THAT TEACH MEDITATION OR THAT ENRICH OUR UNDERSTANDING OF ITS BACKGROUND, CONTEXT OR MEANING. - TRAINING, SABBATICALS, RETREATS, AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT FOR MEDITATION TEACHERS.- MEDITATION CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT, WHEN NO EXTANT CURRICULUM MEETS THE PROPOSED PURPOSE.- BOOKS, SUPPLIES, AND EQUIPMENT FOR MEDITATION PROGRAMS.- EFFORTS TO EXPAND AND BUILD THE CAPACITY OF MEDITATION PROGRAMS AND ADDRESS BARRIERS TO PRACTICE. - TRANSLATIONAL MEDITATION RESEARCH SPONSORED BY AN ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT OR FACULTY TEAM. - THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE, AND ACCESSIBLE MEDITATION EVALUATION TOOLS.- PUBLICATIONS THAT EFFECTIVELY SPREAD CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON MEDITATION AND MEET AN IMPORTANT GAP IN THE CURRENT LITERATURE.OUR PRIORITIESTHE TRUST IS LASER-FOCUSED ON SILENT, NON-DISCURSIVE MEDITATION. CALL IT MINDFULNESS, MEDITATION, OR CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER, WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE ESTABLISH A REGULAR PRACTICE OF SITTING IN SILENCE AND ALLOWING THOUGHTS TO COME AND GO WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. THIS KIND OF PRACTICE ISN'T ABOUT HAVING A DIALOGUE IN YOUR HEAD, GUIDING YOUR THOUGHTS, VISUALIZING A PLACE OR A FEELING, OR BEING ENVELOPED IN A SENSATION, SUCH AS SOUND. THOUGH ALL THOSE PRACTICES CAN BE HELPFUL AT TIMES, THEY ARE NOT OUR FOCUS. INSTEAD, WE FOCUS ON SILENT MEDITATION, WHICH IS ABOUT LETTING ALL THAT GO AND BEING PRESENT WITH THE MOMENT AS YOU FIND IT. THE PROGRAMS WE FUND TEACH AND SUPPORT THIS FORM OF MEDITATION. WHILE THERE ARE MANY PRACTICES THAT SUPPORT HEALTH AND WELLBEING THROUGH A MORE CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE, THE TRUST HAS CHOSEN TO SUPPORT JUST ONE: SILENT MEDITATION. WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF MODERN RESEARCH BEHIND IT AND OVER A THOUSAND YEARS' TESTIMONY FROM MANY OF THE WORLD'S RELIGIONS, THERE'S PLENTY OF EVIDENCE OF ITS POSITIVE EFFECTS. WE THINK A GOOD MEDITATION TEACHER CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. THOUGH MEDITATION IS A SIMPLE PRACTICE, IT'S OFTEN NOT EASY; SILENCE CAN MAKE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE. AT THE START, PEOPLE TEND TO THINK THEY ARE "DOING IT WRONG." A GOOD MEDITATION TEACHER ONE WITH A LONG-TERM PERSONAL PRACTICE AND EXTENSIVE TEACHING EXPERIENCE CAN HELP UNTANGLE THOSE FEELINGS, MAKING IT MORE LIKELY THAT PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO MEDITATE AFTER A PROGRAM ENDS. TODAY'S MEDITATION COMMUNITIES SHOULD BE MORE DIVERSE, EQUITABLE, AND INCLUSIVE. MODERN MEDITATION PROGRAMS FIRST TOOK OFF AMONG WHITE, MIDDLE-CLASS PEOPLE, MOSTLY WOMEN. THE TRUST LOOKS FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP BIPOC, LGBTQ, LOW-INCOME, NEURODIVERGENT, AND OTHER MARGINALIZED GROUPS ACCESS EXISTING PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS DEVELOP MEDITATION PROGRAMS FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE A SPECIAL INTEREST IN ORGANIZATIONS THAT WANT TO TRAIN OR DEVELOP THEIR OWN MEDITATION TEACHERS. WE HOPE OUR GRANTS EVEN SMALL ONES WILL HAVE AN IMPACT WELL INTO THE FUTURE. FOR THAT REASON, WE DO NOT FUND STARTUPS OR ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE OPERATED LESS THAN THREE YEARS, WITH ANNUAL EXPENSES UNDER $100,000. THESE ARE THE REQUIREMENTS THAT DEMONSTRATE TO US A MINIMUM LEVEL OF ORGANIZATIONAL STABILITY. PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT, WE DO NOT MAKE GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS, BUT ONLY TO RECOGNIZED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF OUR GRANTS ARE TO ORGANIZATIONS BASED IN THE U.S. THAT HOLD A 501C3 DESIGNATION. GRANTS OUTSIDE THE U.S. AND GRANTS TO ENDOWMENT AND CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS ARE VERY RARE. THEY ONLY GO TO PROJECTS THAT MAKE AN EXCEPTIONAL IMPACT AND ARE SPONSORED BY ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE EXEMPLARS IN THE FIELD OF SILENT, NON-DISCURSIVE MEDITATION. ORGANIZATIONS OUTSIDE THE US MUST ALSO HOLD NGO STATUS IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY. WE DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO ANNUAL FUNDRAISING OR MEMBERSHIP APPEALS. INQUIRIESTHE TRUST NO LONGER ACCEPTS UNSOLICITED PROPOSALS. APPLICATIONS ARE BY INVITATION ONLY. WE DO, HOWEVER, ACCEPT INQUIRIES DESIGNED TO DETERMINE IF A SPECIFIC PROJECT MEETS OUR BASIC CRITERIA AND THE PRIORITIES LISTED ABOVE. CHECK OUR WEBSITE EACH JANUARY FOR THE INQUIRY PROCESS AND TIMELINE FOR THAT YEAR.
