    In general, the grant making of the Annie E Casey Foundation is limited to initiatives that have significant potential to demonstrate innovative policy, service delivery, and community supports for children and families. Most grantees have been invited by the Foundation to participate in these projects. The Foundation does not make grants to individuals, nor does it support capital projects that are not an integral part of a Foundation-supported initiative. Because its grant making seeks to benefit disadvantaged children and their families, the Foundation annually declines a very large number of otherwise worthy proposals that do not meet this objective.
