WELFARE FOUNDATION, INC.
WELCOME TO WELFARE'S WEBSITE!
Our goal in putting this site together was to be more transparent and more accessible. As such, I am glad that you made your way to us and I am hopeful that you'll find what you are looking for - whether it be facts about our history, information about our areas of giving, or details on how to apply for a grant.
Of course, if I can be of assistance in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to meet with grant seekers - whether Welfare has funded you in the past or you are a first-time applicant.
Sincerely,
​
