THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Early Childhood, Early Care, Early Education, Child Development, Child Care
Deadline: Apr. 1, 2026
“The Frances R. Dewing Foundation supports innovation in early childhood education. Emphasis is placed on new, untried or unusual projects and programs that if successful could have a snowball or ripple effect benefiting the larger educational or local community. Generally such projects and programs need seed money to develop and try new educational methods and tools. The foundation provides seed money in the form of small grants, generally ranging from $1000 to $25,000. The Foundation prefers to fund projects or programs with a broad reach and demonstrable direct benefits to children. Applications are not accepted for projects and programs that do not directly benefit children, such as parent education, staff recruitment and endowments. The foundation does not give grants for general program funds, operating expenses, capital campaigns, camperships or scholarships. Day care projects must be specific and innovative.”
Funder: Frances R. Dewing Foundation
