Preparing for the Grant Application
The Application Process
You can send your Grant Application at any time; however, the Dublin Community Foundation reviews applications according to the following Grant Cycle:
- Apply through March for April review
- Apply through September for October review
Those notified that their project/program is under consideration should be prepared to provide a short 5-10 presentation to the Board at the relevant April or October review session.
Notice:
Applications for funding must demonstrate a direct benefit to the Dublin community.
- How does your project/program help Dublin?
- How will its residents be served?
As we realize the Application Form is lengthy and time-consuming, we have implemented the ability to Save and Continue. If used, you will receive an email with a unique time-sensitive, encrypted link (valid no longer than 30 days) to return to your saved form to finalize. Interruptions or discovering the need to secure additional documents makes a single session inconvenient, and there is also the risk of losing work in progress if an existing network security process automatically stops a web session or there’s a power disruption.
Note: You are encouraged to complete the application on a desktop device (versus a mobile device) for the best usability experience.
Prepare Ahead with the Required Documents:
- Organization budget for the current fiscal year
- Project budget
- Two most recently completed Form 990s
- Most recently completed audit
- Letter of support from the organization’s board or governing body
- Letters of support from collaborating organizations, if applicable
- Lists and amounts of grants received in the last two years, if applicable
