Qualifying organizations must have tax-exempt status under IRS sections 501(c)(3). The Charity Check by Candid program on the Grant Interface Platform will verify all organizations applying.
To meet our guidelines, you must provide programming or projects supporting DBCT’s mission and be a non-profit organization that has been operating for at least four (4) years.
Even if you were previously funded before the 2024 Fall grant cycle with an award, if you have not been recognized for 4+ years as an independent 501(c)3 organization, you will not be eligible to apply until you meet this new guideline.
