Grant Declination: James and Kathleen Rutherford Foundation (BDPA Columbus)

BDPA Education and Technology Foundation learned that our grant proposal submitted earlier this year to the James and Kathleen Rutherford Foundation has been turned down. We asked for funding to support the Student Information Technology Education & Scholarship program implemented by our BDPA Columbus chapter.

The declination letter read as follows:

---

Dear Mr. Hicks,

Thank you for your interest in the James A. and Kathleen C. Rutherford Foundation, a Supporting Foundation of The Columbus Foundation. The Foundation is not accepting grant applications at this time.

We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,
Tamera Durrence, Vice President
Director of Supporting Foundations
The Columbus Foundation

We will continue to seek funding to support the programs and services of our BDPA Columbus chapter.   Our hope is that you can take a moment to help us give out college scholarships to BDPA Columbus chapter high school students.
