What We Fund
The Dunham Foundation is committed to providing positive, multi-generational support to all individuals and families in our service area.
We believe that this support lays the groundwork for successful generations to come and builds an infrastructure for a community where all can thrive. The Dunham Foundation invests in the following three areas:
Dunham Foundation Capacity Building Grant
The Dunham Foundation offers Capacity Building Grants to help local nonprofits strengthen their resource development and build effective fundraising strategies that advance their mission. These grants support the hiring of grant writing consultants on a contractual basis or investing in organizational tools that help improve partnership development and cultivate more effective donor relationships. By investing in your organization’s infrastructure, we help you create sustainable funding streams that support your long-term impact in the community.
This fund provides support through two categories: The Grant Writer Resource Fund and the Community Relations Fund. One application serves both funding opportunities.
Grant Writer Resource Fund
We recognize that many nonprofits have staff who juggle multiple responsibilities, including grant writing. This task may not be their area of expertise; however, it is necessary for the organization to remain financially healthy. The Dunham Foundation has created an opportunity for nonprofits that do not have a grant writer on staff to apply for funds – up to $5,000 – that support a contractual grant writer.
Community Relations Fund
The Dunham Foundation also established the Community Relations Fund to strengthen the relationship-building and outreach efforts essential for long-term sustainability. This fund will equip nonprofit leaders with resources to deepen community engagement, improve partnership development, and cultivate donor relationships.
Examples of relationship-building tools could include projects such as:
Nonprofit Animal Shelter Grants
Flexible funding for any nonprofit animal shelter serving Greater New Haven.
The Community Foundation's animal shelter grants are made possible by The Lillian and Henry A. Konopacke Fund. The fund was created in 2013 by the bequest of New Haven native and North Haven resident Henry Konopacke, who worked as a machinist at the Winchester Repeating Arms Factory. Other funds contributing to Animal Shelter grants include the Baxter Fund, Judith Corchard Fund and Diva Fund.
Purpose
The Fund’s intent is to assist nonprofit animal shelters in the Greater New Haven area in performing the services for which they have been established.
Available Grant types
Funding
Grants are available in amounts up to $10,000.
Multi-Year Core Support
Core Support (general operating support) is for organizations based in and serving Greater New Haven and/or the Valley; organizations must have had active programming for 3 years and a budget last fiscal year of >$250,000.
General Operating Support is defined as a grant made to further the general mission and work of an organization, rather than for a specific purpose or project. General Operating Support gives nonprofits flexibility to direct their spending where it is needed most and allows greater focus on achieving an organization’s mission.
Multi-Year Regional Civic Health Program Grants
Program support is for organizations based outside Greater New Haven and/or the Valley with a mission dedicated to advocacy, civic engagement, community organizing and journalism. Organizations must have had active programming for 2 years and a budget last fiscal year of >$250,000.
Available only to organizations based outside of the 20-town region served by The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven and the Valley Community Foundation. The mission of eligible organizations must focus on civic health, including advocacy, community organizing, civic engagement, and journalism. Organizations working in other issue areas will not be considered.
Programming support is defined as a grant made for a new or existing specific segment of an organization’s work that services one or more towns in the Community Foundations’ region.
Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program for Juvenile Detention Centers
Purpose

Byrne/JAG funds allow states and units of local government, including tribes, to support a broad range of crime control and prevention activities based on state and local needs and conditions. As the state administrative agency, DCJS is responsible for managing the coordination and distribution of Byrne/JAG funds in a manner that supports and improves the criminal justice system in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
