Description
1) Objective
The David Weekley Family Foundation (DWFF) was established in 1990 with profits from David Weekley Homes, a U.S. homebuilding company by David Weekley. Their mission is to engage the world with integrity, creativity, curiosity, faith and gratitude. To that end, the Foundation provides grants for projects in the United States (Houston) and across the globe. They seek to apply their business acumen to their giving, practicing a model of venture philanthropy. This means they prefer to partner with early-stage organisations that demonstrate high potential and stand to benefit from the Foundation’s financial, intellectual, and human capital. They typically start to partner with organisations whose operating budgets are between $500,000 and $5,000,000, providing general operating support and occasionally low-interest loans. They are a Christian faith-based Foundation and support Christ-centered as well as secular organisations. Their programmatic focus lies on enabling the materially poor to lift themselves out of poverty. This includes the sectors health, education, and livelihoods.
2) Eligibility
The Foundation is interested in long-term strategic partnerships and works with US-based and international, Christian and non-Christian organisations.
3) Location
Outside the United States they have no defined focus countries and provide funding (grants and loans) across the globe.
4) Budget
Project funding varies depending on the type of organisation and need of the project.
5) Application
Interested applicants can complete the brief form on their website and they will be in touch within two weeks should there be a potential fit for financial partnership.
