Low
Annual Giving
$25K
Grant Range
$1K – $100K
Tips for Applicants
This is not a traditional grant-making foundation - it is a personal charitable fund for a specific individual. Applications for funding are not relevant as the fund is dedicated to supporting Ava Costa's recovery and related community initiatives.
Giving Philosophy
This is a personal hardship/necessitous circumstances fund rather than a traditional philanthropic foundation. The giving appears to be centered on supporting one individual (Ava Costa) and her family with recovery costs, while also raising awareness about spinal cord injuries and running a small community equipment-sharing program.
