Quantum Foundation
The foundation is interested in projects that fall within the following focus areas: health, education, and community betterment.

Each project concept paper is reviewed to determine whether it meets the foundation’s funding guidelines and fits within the foundation’s funding focus. Based on this review, foundation staff may move the funding request to the next stage of the process and, ask for submission of a full project proposal utilizing the foundation’s proposal guidelines.
