New to Foundant!
Hello everyone! My name is Ethan and I am an applied math major and varsity swimmer at Wheaton College! I am new to the Foundant team and am really looking forward to working with you! I used to work at a Community Foundation, primarily helping them implement Community Suite, so I hope I can be helpful! I enjoy spending time with friends and learning new skills ( I am currently trying to teach myself how to play banjo). I can't wait to start working with you!

Capacity building grant application samples
We are in the process of updating our capacity building grant process. I am wondering if anyone offers capacity building grants and would be willing to share their grant application with us. Thank you.
Re: Scholarships -- Determining Financial Need
We may be blessed with wonderful counselors in our areas but the AGI has not been an issue. You are correct that is easier to obtain rather than explaining what the EFC number means. We also have a fair number of DACA students.
Actually I do have an issue with the AGI. I have a generous scholarship fund for an economically deprived area and we have had for many years a cap on AGI of $90k (excepting special circumstances). We live in a very expensive area and $90k is actually not a lot of money for a family's AGI. We have been thinking of increasing it. Anyone have thoughts on this matter?
Thank you
