How do I know if I'm eligible for support?
The Don Wood Foundation is a private foundation that makes grants to charitable organizations that are recognized by the IRS as being 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.
Unfortunately, many worthy proposals are declined each year because they do not fit in the foundation's mission or grant giving guidelines. This is not a reflection on the grant proposal. However, in the spirit of collaboration, the foundation will provide recommendations or referrals when applicable.
