Here for Good
The Dallas Foundation awards grants through several key channels, including donor-advised endowed funds tailored to support specific causes, our Community Impact Fund, and a select number of Field of Interest Funds that align with our strategic priorities. These funds, entrusted to the Foundation, enable us to make grants that honor donor intent while creating meaningful impact across our community.
Upcoming Grant Cycles
Building on our long-standing commitment to early childhood development, The Dallas Foundation makes investments in the earliest years—birth to age five—to ensure a strong and healthy start for every child. Additionally, we support initiatives that foster community and economic resiliency, reflecting our broader vision for a thriving Dallas.
We encourage you to check back regularly for details on new grant cycle dates.
