Grant Opportunities

The Defiance Area Foundation is a public charitable organization created by citizens of our community to enrich the quality of life for individuals and families in Defiance County. Grants support a variety of programs in the fields of education, social services, physical and mental health, neighborhood and urban affairs, natural resources and the arts.


 

Grants are awarded twice during the year. Proposals need to be received by midnight on the application deadline in order to be considered for that cycle. If the deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday the proposals need to be received by midnight the Friday before the deadline. The schedule is as follows:

                          Proposals received by:                                Final Consideration at Trustees meeting in:
March 31                                                                        April
September 30                                                                October

Grants seekers are encouraged to ask for not more than 25% of their total project if their total project exceeds $10,000.  If project total is below $10,000, the grant seeker should use their discretion, with the understanding that the DAF usually does not support the entire funding of the project or program.  Additionally, the DAF typically does not make more than a $25,000 grant for any one organization in one fiscal year.
