Grants

The Davie Community Foundation serves to “provide pathways for caring people to leave a legacy that will shape the future of our community.” We offer a variety of grant options that we believe will shape the future of Davie County.

Types of Grants Available Through the Davie Community Foundation:

 

foundation

Church & Non-Profit Grants are made to specific organizations for whom the donor created the fund. The annual distribution amount awarded to the organization is approved by the Board of Directors in January. Click here to see a list of 2015 Church & Non-Profit Grants.

 

Donor Advised Fund Grants are made at the recommendation of the advisor(s)for the Donor Advised Fund. Applications are not accepted. Donor Advisors should complete and sign the Donor Grant Recommendation Form.

 

The Three Musketeers Education Fund Grants are made in September and February. The fund was created to support teachers by covering expenses (maximum $300) that schools cannot reimburse. It is the hope of the fund committee that these grants will encourage creativity and innovation in the classroom; ultimately benefiting students. Click here to see 2016 Three Musketeers grants.

 

Staff Development Grants are made annually through the Wendy & Mike Brenner Staff Development Fund. The purpose of the fund is to provide grants for the enrichment of teachers – workshops that will increase their knowledge base in a specific area. Grants will not be paid for course work or any expenses associated with furthering a degree.  Applications are due by 5:00pm on March 31st.

 

Community Grants from Community Funds (Unrestricted & Area of Interest) give the Board of Directors the freedom to award grants to address the needs of the community as they change over time. The Foundation currently accepts requests/proposals for projects within Davie County that impact Youth or Literacy. Once the 5n5 Community Impact Challenge is met, focus areas will expand.  We do not review proposals outside of Davie County or make grants or loans to individuals.

Through Community Fund Grants, the Davie Community Foundation:

  • Creates partnerships with grantee organizations, working together for the benefit of the community.
  • Invests in the Davie County community. We encourage strong leadership, strong financial management practices, and executable goals and strategies.

Community Fund Grant Priorities
The Foundation currently concentrates its grant making on proposals from non-profit organizations within Davie County that address Youth or Literacy issues; or those requested as part of the Healthy Davie Initiative. Proposals must benefit the citizens of the county. In an effort to strengthen community leadership, requests for Capacity Building and strengthening of non-profit organizations that impact these areas will be considered.
