In the first half of 2024, Dogwood offers two kinds of grant opportunities.
You may pursue either of the above options through our simplified, two-step grant process. We encourage you to start the process early, so that we can spend more time in conversation with you.
Step 1: Submit an Engage with Us form. (November 13 – January 26 for Strategic Priority Grants. Rolling deadline for all others.) Share initial information about your organization and your work and what you’re seeking funding for. If your request appears to align with one or more of our funding focus areas, a member of our Community Investment team will contact you to learn more about your ideas and plans.
Step 2: Submit a full application via invitation. (Mid-February – mid-March for Strategic Priority Grants. Rolling deadline for all others.) If our team finds that your request aligns closely with one or more of our 2024 grantmaking focus areas, your Community Investment team liaison will provide you with a link to a full application.
