The first step in The Dayton Foundation's new discretionary grants application process is to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI enables you to provide an overview of your project and funding request.

To access the online LOI, please complete our brief questionnaire. This will help determine if your organization is eligible to apply for funding from the Foundation at this time. Afterwards, you will be asked to create a username and password that will allow you to log into the online LOI form.

If, after reviewing your LOI, we determine that your project falls within our funding guidelines, you will be sent a full grant application.

If you have any questions about the Letter of Intent or the eligibility questionnaire, please contact Jo Dech at (937) 225-9976.
