The grant program supported by the Margaret Tisher Charitable Trust emphasizes the funding of projects and programs that fulfill several key criteria. These include support for year-round programming, provision of direct services reflecting the organization's core social mission, addressing community needs with demonstrated demand, benefiting underserved populations, and having measurable outcomes with documented results and long-term sustainability. Additionally, successful grants will show diversified income streams, effective financial accountability, collaboration with other organizations, and complement rather than duplicate efforts of existing non-profits. Eligible organizations must have operated fully for at least three years, and the project or program in question must have at least one complete year of operation with a report showing measurable impact available prior to application.
