Donahue Favret Contractors Grants

The Driving FORE Charity Fund, administered through the Northshore Community Foundation, serves as a philanthropic initiative sponsored by Donahue Favret Contractors (DFC). This grant program was created with the purpose of generating and distributing funds to charitable organizations operating in the communities served by DFC. By engaging corporate sponsors, individual donors, and the broader community—especially through participation in golf events—DFC mobilizes meaningful resources to address critical local needs. These funds are allocated annually to nonprofit organizations via a competitive selection process, which ensures that distributions are aligned with the foundation’s values of fairness, accountability, and impact. The maximum amount an organization can receive through this grant opportunity is $10,000. Eligible applicants must be recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. The grant does not fund organizations prior to the annual golf tournament, and applicants seeking event sponsorships should be aware that their applications will not be reviewed before the application deadline. Each organization is permitted to submit only one application per cycle. Applications are evaluated rigorously with support from the Northshore Community Foundation. The evaluation prioritizes organizational impact, alignment with community needs, and the applicant’s capacity to responsibly manage and report on funds. Grantees are required to submit a post-award report within 60 days of completing the funded project. This report must include a final budget and a narrative describing how the funds were used, ensuring transparency and accountability. The 2025 grant application window is open from June 1 to October 31. Applications will only be reviewed after the final deadline, and decisions will be announced biannually. While the announcement timing may suggest two rounds per year, the actual timeline for individual awards remains contingent on the internal processes of the foundation and its partners. The grant is not issued on a rolling basis, but it is recurring and expected to be offered annually. The next cycle is projected to open in June 2026. Potential applicants should plan accordingly and mark relevant internal calendars for follow-up. All correspondence and inquiries regarding the grant should be directed to the Northshore Community Foundation, located at 807 N. Columbia Street, Covington, Louisiana 70433.
