In an effort to make the submission process efficient and straightforward for all of our applicants, the Dodge Foundation is pleased to announce that it’s moving to an online application system. We intend to go live with the system on February 22nd, in time for any organization wishing to submit a proposal for the March 1st deadline, our next round of grantmaking.
Please note, all new applicants must still submit a letter of inquiry and be invited to apply first. New applicants should read our guidelines and procedures here on our website and e-mail us a letter of inquiry by February 15 to be eligible for the March 1 full proposal deadline.
We have posted comprehensive information to our website about what information we will be seeking both from current grantees and new applicants to give you guidance about the new system, so that you may start writing your proposals now.
For applicants who have been asked to submit full proposals for the March 1st deadline, please wait to submit them until we go live with our online system on February 22nd.
As a reminder, we now accept applications on a rolling basis, permitting organizations to choose from one of three deadlines during the year: March 1, September 1 and December 1.
Please contact us at info@grdodge.org with questions, and continue to check our website for updated information.
