Any nonprofit or municipal agency may apply for an ADDD project grant. Typical applicants are consortia developed around a particular concern, libraries, etc. While we ask that organizations limit their submissions to the ADDD Fund to one application per year, this does not limit an organization from applying to other funds administered by the Foundation.
