The Dunspaugh-Dalton Foundation, Inc. is changing the manner in which it accepts grants. Effective immediately, we have implemented an online Grant Portal. Paper applications will not be accepted.
We now require a Letter of Intent (LOI) for an organization that has never received a grant from the Foundation. Once the Online LOI has been submitted and reviewed, you will be notified via email as to whether or not your organization has been approved for the next steps in the process.
If you are an organization that has received a grant from The Dunspaugh-Dalton Foundation in the past, you do not need to fill out an LOI, and can proceed to completing and submitting an Online Application through our online Grant Portal by the due date schedule set out below.

We receive many more requests than we have funds to distribute in any one fiscal year. Support from DDF should not be viewed as a continuing source of funds. Conversely, many commendable applications must be declined which should not necessarily be construed as a negative assessment of an organization or proposal.
Conferences may be held between trustees and representatives of organizations. Site visits may also be scheduled. Periodic written reports are required with emphasis on the use of funds granted by DDF.
Grants are awarded for, but not limited to, requests such as projects, programs, events, conferences, scholarships, and operating support. Multi-year grants are made in special cases.
The Dunspaugh-Dalton Foundation, Inc. does not award grants to for-profit organizations, individuals, political campaigns or candidates.
