Background:	The Lawrence Foundation is a private family foundation focused on making grants to support environmental, education, health, human services and other causes. The Lawrence Foundation was established by Jeff Lawrence and Diane Troth (husband and wife) in 2000 with some of the proceeds received from the acquisition of Trillium Digital Systems (a company Jeff co-founded) by Intel Corporation in 2000. Jeff left Intel Corporation in 2002 and is currently at Clivia Systems.
Grant Guidelines:	The foundation is focused on making grants to support environmental, education, health, human services and other causes although our interests are fairly diverse and may lead us into other areas on an occasional basis. We make both program and operating grants and do not have any geographic restrictions on our grants. Nonprofit organizations that qualify for public charity status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or public schools and libraries are eligible for contributions or grants.
Grant Application:	Grants are awarded twice a year. Grant applications may be made by any organization that wishes to be considered for a grant and meets our grant guidelines. Grant applications are due either April 30, 2008 or October 31, 2008.
Grant Recipients:	The Lawrence Foundation was established in mid-2000 and made its first contributions and grants in 2000. The foundation currently receives over 500 grant requests per year and has made grants and commitments of over $2.5 million since its inception.
