The Bydale Foundation’s domestic geographic areas of interest are Westchester County, North Carolina, and Massachusetts, or those with a nationwide focus. Within these geographic areas, the foundation provides support for programs in the areas of the environment, social justice, women’s rights, grassroots advocacy, performing arts, and poetry. 

The foundation also provides grants to human rights, peace advocacy, and environmental organizations in Israel. Please note the foundation does not fund social service programs in Israel.

Unsolicited proposals for organizations outside these areas are not accepted. Even for organizations in these areas, awards are extremely competitive and only a very small percentage of Inquiry Application Forms are funded.

Organizations seeking funding must complete the one-page Inquiry Application Form. The form is due August 1 and should be emailed to bydale@bofa.com.
