CHANGES!!
We appreciate your patience as we work through the logistics of our new opportunities. We are making some changes to help with our internal processes and to better match our opportunities with our resources. The following changes go into effect on February 23, 2026.
- Rural Opportunities no longer begin with an e-mail. They will start with a LOI submitted through our online grants management system.
- Special Projects no longer begin with an e-mail. They will start with a LOI submitted through our online grants management system.
- Special Projects are no longer accepted year round. They will following the calendar presented on the Special Projects page.
- For 2026, Special Projects will not be accepting LOIs from organizations new to Daniel Foundation – those having never been board funded. See FAQs for more information on “board funded”.
- All Rural Tier 1 and Tier 2 counties should submit opportunities through the Rural Cycle only.
- The 17 non-rural counties should choose either Operating Grants or Special Projects, whichever best fits your request.
