Note: The Clayton Family Foundation would like to respond affirmatively to all requests, however, far more proposals are received than can be funded. Building projects are likely to be declined because church, school and other community buildings are available.

 

A decline does not indicate a negative assessment of the organization or proposal, but merely speaks to the overwhelming needs in our communities.
