Description
1) Objective
The Dory Foundation provides grants ranging from $10,000 to $250,000 to support promising early- to mid-stage non-profit initiatives. They don’t have a specific thematic focus, but their vision anticipates a future where AI significantly reshapes traditional work.
Funding criteria includes:
- Impact and Cost-Effectiveness: The program shows strong potential to create meaningful impact relative to its budget.
- Team Strength: The founders and team have the right skills, knowledge, and mindset to make the program a success.
- Sustainability: There is a clear vision for scaling and sustaining the program over time.
- Focus on Results: The program uses relevant metrics and demonstrates a strong commitment to measuring its impact.
2) Eligibility
They generally fund 501(c)(3) organizations or their international equivalents. However, individuals intending to set up a charity are welcome to apply, and for exceptional applications, they may provide support for setting up a legal entity or working with a fiscal sponsor.
3) Location
Actions can take place anywhere.
4) Budget
They give grants between $10,000 and $250,000. They may decide to approve a bigger amount for exceptional applications and where a bigger budget is warranted. Because they care a lot about cost-effectiveness, they look at how much potential impact your proposal can deliver for every dollar that you are requesting.
5) Application
Applications can be submitted anytime throughout the year.
