Frances R. Dewing Foundation
Category: Education
DescriptionFounded by one of the first women to earn a Ph.D. from Radcliffe College (one of the Seven Sisters institutions, which were the female equivalent to the Ivy League universities), the Foundation supports innovation in early childhood education. Emphasis is placed on new, untried, or unusual projects and programs that if successful could have a snowball or ripple effect benefitting the larger educational or local community. Applications are not accepted for projects and programs that do not directly benefit children, such as parent education, staff recruitment, and endowments. Consideration is only given to projects concerned with early childhood education, specifically for children up to sixth grade. The Foundation provides seed money in the form of small grants and prefers to provide a significant portion of any project it funds. The Foundation historically accepted applications primarily from New England, but now accepts applications from anywhere in the United States. Visit the Web site for additional information and application instructions.
