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.

Organizations that have not previously received a grant from the Foundation must submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) via the online portal. After your LOI is submitted and reviewed, you will receive an email notifying you whether your organization is approved to proceed.

If your organization has received a grant from The Dunspaugh-Dalton Foundation in the past, you do not need to submit an LOI. Please see our Returning Applicants section.

Step 1:  Assess Eligibility and Fit

• Be tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code.

Step 2:  Letter of Intent (LOI)

• Please log in and submit a Letter of Intent by the Grant Cycle Deadline.

Step 3: Grant Proposal

Step 4: Grant Awarded
