New York Women & Girl Services Grants

The Dammann Fund Grant invites applications from qualified charitable organizations operating in New York City, Southwestern Connecticut, Westchester, and Charlottesville, VA. The fund is dedicated to supporting programs that align with its mission of fostering development in two key areas: teen parenting and mental health. This grant program is designed to provide resources to organizations that can demonstrate a clear commitment to these focus areas and contribute to the well-being of the communities they serve. The fund's strategic priorities are clearly defined by its commitment to programs that enable the development of parenting skills in young parents and those that foster independent living skills for the mentally ill. These two areas reflect the foundation's theory of change, which posits that by investing in these specific interventions, they can achieve significant and positive societal impact. The grant aims to support initiatives that are not only well-conceived but also demonstrate a direct link to improving the lives of individuals in these vulnerable populations. Target beneficiaries for the Dammann Fund Grant are young parents seeking to develop parenting skills and individuals with mental illness who require support in achieving independent living. The impact goals are centered on enhancing the capabilities of these beneficiaries within the specified geographic regions. While specific measurable results are not detailed in the provided text, the expectation is that funded programs will demonstrate tangible improvements in parenting skills for young parents and increased independent living skills for individuals with mental illness. Organizations are required to submit new applications each year, implying a continuous assessment of program effectiveness and outcomes. The Dammann Fund places importance on supporting publicly-supported charitable organizations, ensuring that grant funds are utilized ethically and in alignment with Section 170(c)(2)(B) of the Code. The fund explicitly states ineligibility for grants to individuals, capital or annual campaigns, endowments, loans, conferences, or travel, highlighting its focus on programmatic support. Grant recipients are eligible for funding for a single program for up to three consecutive years, reinforcing a commitment to sustained impact and allowing for long-term program development and evaluation.
