Garland & Agnes Taylor Gray Foundation
Purpose
The Garland and Agnes Taylor Gray Foundation is interested principally in supporting cultural, historical and educational institutions that have a significant impact on the quality of life in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Gray Foundation also supports organizations in any field of charitable endeavor, with emphasis on education and human services, which substantially benefit the quality of life in southside communities of Petersburg, Waverly and surrounding areas. The Gray Foundation will consider competitive grants during the Summer Funding Cycle (May 5 Preliminary Proposal deadline) only.

For example, an organization receiving one year of competitive support in CY 2010 would not be eligible for a new competitive award until CY 2012. An organization receiving a competitive grant in CY 2010, payable in CY 2010, 2011 and 2012 would not be eligible to request additional grant support until CY 2013.
