The Dallas Foundation offers grantmaking seminars that give grantseekers the information and tools they need to successfully complete their proposals.

The Dallas Foundation has two competitive grant cycles each year:
Field of Interest - Grants are awarded from 9 funds established by donors to benefit agencies serving a particular population, such as low-income or disabled children, or with a specific philanthropic interest, such as the arts. Applications are due in March each year.
Community Impact (Unrestricted) - Letters of Inquiry for grants from our Community Impact Fund are due in August each year. We will invite selected organizations to submit full proposals, due in early October. The Foundation will not consider unsolicited full proposals.
Seminars will be held at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library auditorium, 1515 Young St., Dallas.
