Jessie Ball Dupont Foundation
Category: General
DescriptionThe Fund, which has a special interest in Southern issues, awards two types of grants: competitive ones in the areas of program grants, institutional development, and capacity building; and smaller feasibility grants that enable institutions to explore and develop new concepts and programs. Grantmaking is targeted at six focus areas including strengthening the independent sector; organizing and nurturing philanthropy; building assets of people, families, and communities; building capacity of eligible organizations; stimulating community problem solving; and helping people hold their communities accountable. The Fund supports four initiatives: religion, nonprofit, small liberal arts colleges, and independent schools. One caveat: eligible organizations are only those who have received a contribution from Mrs. DuPont between the four-year period of Jan. 1, 1960 and Dec. 31, 1964. Trustees meet in January, March, May, July, September, and November to review applications.
