Or simply fund and disperse as we go, realizing this will effect the groweth of the funds.
It would be nice if we could accumulate enough to have it fund it'self through groweth.
The moment you decided to do it you should have started accumulating funds. Ideally the grant money comes from dividends and interest off the capital, but that's not practical when you're just getting started and are committed to adding capital.

Yes, it's not practical for me to open it with $20,000 or $25,000 at this time. I do want to get the paperwork done so we can contribute. If we can't award the funds immediately then so be it. I am commited for long-term funding, Lord willing.

Re: I'm Starting A Grant for Homeschooled Apostoli
Thank you to those who responded by PM.
Next question...
If this happens we will need a name for the foundation.
I am likely going to provide the primary funding - at least initially. However, I am not fond of using any part of my name. I have considered using a cute name of some sort - incorporating a word like "cinder" "ashes" or "soot" but I think that would limit the appeal of the foundation when soliciting funds. We want the broadest appeal possible, with hopes of giving away tens of thousands of dollars or even more, in the future.
Any suggestions?
Steve
