The foundation was established by employees of Dallas-based i2Technologies, Inc. Within the interest areas above, the foundation is particularly interested in the education and development of children and will consider programs addressing hunger, illiteracy, poverty, violence against women, youth violence, early child development, environmental preservation, scientific research and improved healthcare. Proposals are reviewed based on "the quality of the program, the services it provides and how it is aligned with the mission of the foundation," said Bindu Nambiar, grants coordinator. Recent grants awarded in 2000, the foundation's second year of grantmaking, ranged from $5,000 to $50,000. The i2 Foundation makes grants to national and international nonprofits and has no geographical restrictions on its grantmaking. International organizations without 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status are eligible for grants through the use of a U.S. fiscal agent. The foundation's next grants will be awarded in spring 2001. Details on and guidelines for the next application cycle will be available on the foundation's Web site by January 2001. A tentative application deadline is February 28. A peer review committee evaluates all applications, selects finalists and submits them to the foundation’s board of trustees for the final decision. The grants are competitive. For its fall 2000 grant cycle, Nambiar said, the foundation received 120 proposals and awarded 13 grants. Funding recipients included: the Center for Non-profit Management to launch the center's Non-profit Technology program in Texas; CARE for its Horn of Africa Emergency Relief Program in Kenya; the Orphan Foundation of America to fund the 15-20 post-secondary education scholarships for orphans and foster youth in the United States through the Scholarship Sponsor Program; Project Hope to help expand the maternal and child health programs in Haiti, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Malawi and Uzbekistan; Angel Flight South Central to expand by an additional 1,000 missions in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and New Mexico; and Court Appointed Special Advocates of New Jersey for three to four new local programs and salary support.
