| Application Guidelines |
Effective August 15, 2007, all applicants must include a cover sheet with their grant
proposal. This can be found by visiting the Delaware Valley Grantmakers' website (www.
dvg.org) or by clicking the appropriate form found under Contact Information. Along with
the cover sheet, you may include a brief letter summarizing the grant request, including the
objectives and significance of the program and the specific amount of money requested.
The proposal itself should not exceed five pages. It should include a detailed description of
the program design and proposed accomplishments during the grant period. In addition to
the 5 page proposal, a statement of the qualifications of personnel and the capabilities of the
organization to carry out the proposed project; a budget detailing all planned expenditures,
anticipated income, sources of income; and plans for future fundraising for the project if
applicable are necessary.
Additional documentation must include a copy of the Internal Revenue Service letter
indicating tax-exempt status. The most recent financial statement, a current operating
budget, and a list of directors and officers of the organization also need to be included.
Please send only the materials requested. Additional materials will be discarded. Do not
mail your proposal with a request for a signature receipt (Certified, Fedex, etc.). If you
would like confirmation of receipt, include a stamped, self-addressed envelope or postcard
with your application.
The Board meets in January, April and August to consider funding requests. Because of the
consistently large volume, most proposals are received 4-6 months before they are
evaluated fully and placed on our meeting agenda Most giving is in the range of $5,000 to
$25,000/year for a one to three year period. Successful applicants will be notified in writing
of the action of the Board. Foundation grants are made only to non-profit, charitable
organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Submission deadlines (postmarked by):
August 1 for review at January meeting
December 1 for review at April meeting
April 1 for review at August meeting
Grantees are required to submit reports reflecting progress towards stated objectives and to
notify the Foundation at any time if there is a major change or delay in the proposed plans.
A grant year-end report assessing accomplishment of stated objectives of the grant and a
financial accounting is necessary. Please use the Grant Report Form under Contact
Information as your guide for this report. When a multi-year grant is approved payment of
subsequent installments is made conditional on the satisfaction of the Foundation with
progress under the grant. Grantees are asked to wait at least one year after the completion
of a grant before reapplying for support.
Excluded from the Foundation’s funding priorities are grants in direct support of individuals, i.
e., scholarships or fellowships; endowments; capital projects; annual fundraising; support of
international activities or international institutions; and research. Within its geographic area,
the Foundation may give occasional support to arts and cultural projects, but such grants are
highly selective.
