Deadline: 10-May-21
Applications are now open for the Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation Grant Program to support organizations and programs for which a relatively small amount of funding might make a large difference.
The Foundation will consider requests to support museums, cultural and performing arts programs; schools and hospitals; educational, skills-training and other programs for youth, seniors, and persons with disabilities; environmental and wildlife protection activities; and other community-based organizations and programs.
Funding Information
- Awards typically range from $1,000 to $20,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation will consider grants for IRS-qualified non-profit organizations located within the United States.
Application Requirements
- The online application requires organization and contact information, answers to questions related to your organization’s non-profit status, answers to questions related to past awards/requests, a summary of your organization’s purpose and programs, a summary of how potential funding would be utilized, a letter of request, an itemized organization budget, an itemized program budget (for organizations applying for program support), and a copy of your organization’s IRS letter stating your Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt/ not a private foundation status.
- Should your request be selected for further consideration additional financial information, including (up-to) your organization’s four most recent 990s filed with the IRS, will be required.
Instructions
- Click the Application Portal button at the bottom of the page to access their Application Portal. The Application Portal can be used to create an application, check status updates for existing requests, update contact information, submit reports, and view past applications. New users will be prompted to sign-up and create an Organization Profile. All aspects and features of the portal are connected back to your Organization Profile.
- The Organization Profile can only be linked to one email address at a time- by default, this is the email addressed used when signing up. If you wish to have multiple users access your Organization Profile, they recommend using an “info” or other general email address maintained by your organization. The email address used for signing up is not the email address the Foundation will reference for contact. You will enter a contact email address while filling out your Organization Profile.
- Once your Organization Profile is created you will be able to begin work on your application. Work on your application will be saved automatically every five minutes. You may also save your work manually. Be aware you will not be prompted to complete your request in the event it remains incomplete as the deadline date approaches. Once submitted you will not be able to make changes to your application. Please ensure the information and attachments you’ve included are correct and accurate before submitting them.
- Due to the volume of requests they receive, they will not be able to contact organizations to request corrections. Once your application is completed and submitted, you will receive an automated email confirming your application has been received.
