Dickinson Area Community Foundation Grant

The Dickinson Area Community Foundation (DACF), a component fund of the North Dakota Community Foundation, is currently accepting applications for its 2025 grant cycle. DACF operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and supports programs that enrich community well-being. The foundation’s Advisory Committee oversees the review and awarding of grants. DACF aims to fund projects that serve the broader community, prioritizing initiatives with wide impact. While religious organizations are eligible, their proposals must be non-sectarian and benefit the general public, such as operating a food pantry. The total amount available for distribution in this cycle is approximately $50,000. Grant requests may be partially or fully funded at the discretion of the Advisory Committee. Applications are accepted from IRS-designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and government agencies. Individuals, operating costs, and scholarships for individuals are not eligible. Projects with broader community impact receive preference. Fiscal sponsorship is possible for those without 501(c)(3) status, pending prior approval. To apply, applicants must register through DACF’s online Grant Portal. Registration requires the organization’s name, EIN, and executive officer details. After logging in, applicants must select and complete the application form. The deadline for submission is June 30, 2025. There are no listed pre-application deadlines or specific evaluation criteria beyond the stated funding priorities. However, the Advisory Committee reserves the right to extend deadlines or add new ones. It is recommended that applicants bookmark the portal and reach out if their intended grant program is not visible. For assistance, contact Committee Chair Zach Keller at z.keller@bankwithchoice.com. Additional help with the portal is available via email at Nicole@NDCF.net.
