General grants
If your organization is interested in receiving a grant, you are invited to share information about yourselves and your programs. To do this, submit no more than two pages describing your organization and projects, emphasizing the ways your program addresses the need to move children out of foster care and into permanent adoptive homes. Since we are constantly awarding grants, there are no submission deadlines.

Please do not submit bound proposals, video tapes, computer disks or other materials. Also remember that we do not fund research, awareness projects, events, or individuals. We give grants to programs that will directly help move children from foster care to permanent, loving families. We will notify you in writing within 30 days after submitting your materials.

Please submit all your information electronically to carrie_boerio@davethomasfoundation.org so we can notify you more quickly and minimize our impact on the environment.
