The Juneau Community Foundation recently announced the Douglas-Dornan Foundation Fund is now accepting 2016 grant applications.
The Douglas-Dornan Foundation awards financial grants one time each year to non-profit organizations and their employees that benefit and enhance the health, education and welfare of individuals in Southeast Alaska.
Examples of possible Foundation financial support include, but are not limited to:
• Nonprofit charitable organizations, social service agencies, childcare institutions, foster parent programs and early childhood education programs in Southeast Alaska.
• Individuals within organizations who are pursuing special professional training/education to expand and improve their ability to perform the duties of their employment. Grant awards may be used to defray costs for tuition, transportation or lodging expenses related to attendance at professional conferences, training or educational programs.
• Events or special services that enhance the overall quality of life, such as through amateur sports organizations or children’s music and theatre activities, and encourage participation through sponsorship of programs and events open to all individuals.
Applications will be evaluated based on the quality of program to be supported or attended, reasonableness and accuracy of proposed budget, background and experience of applicant, support from other sources and appropriateness to the objectives of the Fund.
