The PTCF will not consider requests from individuals, private foundations, organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, class, gender, or national origin, organizations that support political campaigns or lobbyist groups, or fraternal or religiously affiliated organizations.  The PTCF will only consider requests that are tied to a specific project and will not consider donations that will be used for annual appeals, debt reduction, endowment funds, legal expenses, or employee salaries.
