On September 7, 2010, the Dyson Foundation will join the prevailing trend being followed by many philanthropic institutions when we begin accepting all grant submissions via our new online Grants Portal. Increasingly, both government and private grantmakers are moving toward online grants management, giving the applicant more control and streamlining the process for both nonprofit and grantmaker. The Dyson Foundation Grants Portal, for both new applicants and current grantees, will provide an interactive and more efficient means of applying to the Foundation for funding.
