Legacy grants support non-profit organizations that held special meaning to the founders. Examples include Holt International Children’s Services (the agency through which Michele was adopted), the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles (the hospital that saved Glenn’s eyesight).  These organizations may be awarded support annually without a formal application process. However, they are subject to periodic review to ensure that they are in good standing and continue to meet best practices. 

Discretionary grants must be consistent with the mission, vision, values, and funding priorities of the Foundation. Discretionary grants are not subject to the normal due diligence review or reporting processes.

A "Next Generation Grant" is a grantmaking program designed to involve the children of current board members in the foundation's philanthropic activities. The board may appoint an advisory committee that includes both current board members and the children or next generation relatives of board members to develop grant recommendations to the board.
