Rolling Grant Program

We're Currently Updating our Rolling Grant Program

The Don Wood Foundation has recently adopted a new strategic plan, and more details will be available in early 2026. We are working behind the scenes to align the Rolling Grant Program with our strategic direction while incorporating grantee feedback to streamline our application process. This will not affect applicants who applied on or before September 15, 2025.

Have an Idea? Please Contact Us.

We look forward to inviting our grant partners to submit proposals beginning in March 2026. In the meantime, we are pleased to meet with community partners to discuss the Don Wood Foundation’s strategic direction and explore potential support for future programs and projects.
