The Dana Brown Charitable Trust is focused on high-impact, low-risk funding and places high importance on those organizations that work collaboratively with other nonprofits.

The grants must serve children up to age 18; often, organizations will serve children past this age. It is essential to share your full mission statement, but your funding request must outline that your project/program will meet our requirements to only serve those children up to that age.

In addition, you must meet new eligibility requirements and your 501 (c) 3 status must be in place for four (4) full years before you apply.  Only agencies providing services for four (4) years or more are eligible to apply.

Each organization must be VERIFIED on the Grant Platform Charity Check.
