- Form and materials
- Applicants should become familiar with the giving guidelines, which are subject to change without notice. Each request is analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Grants are made on an annual basis. All requests must be submitted in writing, and include proof of IRS 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt status, description of the organization and the specific program for which it seeks support, description of how the grant will benefit the community, the amount being requested, an itemized budget for any project, and past record of support, by the Foundation or Dollar Bank. The Foundation receives more funding request than it can grant in any year. If it is necessary to decline support of a worthwhile organization or program, the decision is not an adverse reflection on the value of the non-profit or its service. Contributions of grants do not establish entitlement for continuing support.
- Deadlines
- No
- Restrictions
- As a general rule, the Foundation will not provide support to organizations outside the geographic boundaries served by Dollar Bank and its subsidiaries. In addition, the Foundation generally will not support organizations without IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, individuals, political organizations, candidates or lobbying efforts, labor or fraternal organizations, religious organizations, with respect to religiously oriented activities and/or programs, hospital or other health care delivery facilities that are not 501 (c)(3) non-profits, non-academic efforts at the elementary thru high school levels, sports teams except for youth sports programs in underserved communities where sports programs directly address social development, mentorship, and anti-violence initiatives. Note: IRS rules prohibit any contributions that would result in a direct benefit to Dollar Bank or its employees.
