About The Grant
The Frances R. Dewing Foundation historically accepted applications primarily from New England but now accepts applications from anywhere in the United States. The foundation does not accept applications from outside the United States or for projects outside the United States.
The Foundation prefers to fund projects or programs with a broad reach and demonstrable direct benefits to children. Applications are not accepted for projects and programs that do not directly benefit children, such as parent education, staff recruitment, and endowments.
Day care projects must be specific and innovative.
Applications are accepted by our online application system throughout the year but are reviewed twice per year in April and October. Application are reviewed by the trustees in the month following the deadline and results are sent out via email generally within 4 weeks of the application deadline.
Requirements
The Frances R. Dewing Foundation accepts applications from United States based and operating 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and government entities such as schools and school districts.
Consideration is only given to projects concerned with early childhood education, specifically for children up to sixth grade.
Grantees are required to submit a final report following the end of the grant period.
