Attention fund holders: during the first week of October, The Dayton Foundation will be transitioning to a new accounting system. This is an internal update and will not affect your gift-giving, grantmaking or access to Donor Express. Thank you in advance for your patience as we work to serve you better!

Building a Better Tomorrow Through Grantmaking

At The Dayton Foundation, we support the vital work of our region's nonprofits by awarding grants through our grants programs. We help you advance your mission so you can help others.

Here to help.
