  • Are focused on economic vitality, especially in the environment, social justice, and/or the health and wellness sectors
  • Are catalyzing new ideas and expanding boundaries
  • Are proposing distinct, impact-related metrics
  • Are seeking impact measurement
  • Are  matching their Glazer Fund ask with other existing funding or additional applications to other funds
