Grant Application

Information that you will need to submit on this website:

  • Name of organization, executive in charge, mailing address, telephone number and email address.

  • A copy of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) designation letter (for private non-public organizations), a list of Board members and an executive summary of your specific request.

  • If appropriate, a detailed project/program budget, schedule of implementation, and methods of evaluating and reporting the results. Include a listing and amount of all other sources of committed funding and requested support for the project/program in the grant proposal.

Familiarize yourself with the guidelines of The R.C. Durr Foundation, Inc. If you still have questions, query first with a 1-page pre-application summary proposal in writing sent to Jean H. Mize at JMize@DurrFoundation.com.This will eliminate your spending time on a formal grant request that may not be funded.

No telephone calls please.

Requests are accepted year round. Response is normally within 90 days. The Foundation’s normal procedure is to review proposals as they are received as to fit with our mission and current funding goals. Those proposals deemed in agreement with our goals will be placed on the next Board of Director’s Meeting Agenda for further discussion. Those not in agreement will receive a written Letter of Decline as will those proposals declined by the Board. Commitment Letters will be sent to those whose proposals are funded by the Board.

Grants are restricted to private non-profit organizations for purposes defined under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and to public tax exempt organizations.
