Murdock Charitable Trust: General Fund Announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------ **************** FUND INFORMATION ****************** ACCESSION NO: S 31234-001 FUND TITLE: Freddie Mac Foundation: General Fund Announcement. DESCRIPTION: The Freddie Mac Foundation is dedicated to brightening the future of children, youth and families at risk. In 1995, the Foundation will be accepting proposals to prevent child abuse and neglect; and to support education, particularly early childhood education. Foundation grants in the first category will target the leading factors associated with child abuse and neglect: poor parenting skills; young and inexperienced parents; stressful living situations and financial hardship; domestic violence, substance abuse, adolescent pregnancy, emotional difficulties, etc. Educational grants will address: the developmental needs of young children (0-6) and help prepare them for learning; efforts to stimulate parental involvement in their child's educational development; school-based services for families; academic enhancement programs and enhancement of public education; and programs that help children envision a successful future. While all proposals in these areas will be accepted for review, priority will be given to: 1) programs that work with young children (0-6) and families; 2) projects that are prevention-oriented, advocate and build awareness; and 3) efforts to reform public systems into more coordinated, effective operations featuring strong community input. Close to 75% of all foundation giving in 1995 will be for programs with at least one of these elements. Organizations that received funding from the Foundation in 1994 but that no longer meet Foundation guidelines are eligible for one-year "transition grants." These are intended to ease the financial hardship of nonprofit organizations that cannot be funded by the Foundation in 1995. These are limited up to half of an organization's 1994 grant.
