An Important Note about Changes to Dyson Foundation Grants Guidelines

In 2009 the Dyson Foundation has changed its grantmaking priorities to best support the most vulnerable people and communities in our region during these difficult economic times. To this end, we will focus on organizations and activities that address basic needs such as food, housing, health care, and other human services. We will also increase the funds available through our capacity-building Mini-Grant Program and will continue to offer grants through our Nonprofit Strategic Restructuring Initiative. However, we will unfortunately not be considering new funding in certain areas, including the arts, the environment, historic preservation, and capital projects. All current funding commitments will be honored. Read more from Rob Dyson, President, and Diana M. Gurieva, Executive Vice President & CEO here.
