The Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation aims to support organizations and programs for which a relatively small amount of funding might make a large difference. The Foundation will consider requests to support museums, cultural and performing arts programs; schools and hospitals; educational, skills-training and other programs for youth, seniors, and persons with disabilities; environmental and wildlife protection activities; and other community-based organizations and programs. Awards typically range from $1,000 to $20,000.
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, with grants being awarded twice per year (see https://www.mvdreyfusfoundation.org/contact for the timeline). The application along with complete guidelines can be found at https://www.mvdreyfusfoundation.org/application-guidelines.
