Grant applications will be considered from established 501(c)3 tax-exempt organizations and institutions whose purposes are charitable, educational, artistic, promoting conservation, or providing social and health services in the Ogden and Salt Lake communities. and have received funding in the last three (3) years.

Applicant organizations must have a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax-exempt status to be eligible to apply. Proof of 501(c)(3) status is required. Individuals or lobbying organizations are not eligible to apply.

The Board will consider eligible proposals within seasonal guidelines, but please be aware that funding limitations, geographic preference (see Home page), and Board interests may prevent applications from being approved.

The Foundation’s Board of Directors meets two times per calendar year to consider grant requests – in the spring and in the fall. Funding requests can be submitted once the application process opens up in January.

Application deadlines:

Spring funding period is April 15

Fall funding period is September 15.

Invited requests may be considered at other times during the year.

Organizations may only submit one application for consideration each year.

Applications may be carried over for consideration into a future period.

To begin the online application, you will need your IRS Tax ID number verifying your status as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

If you are using the portal for the first time, you will need to create a user id/password before starting your application.  We recommend using a generic organizational email address (for example, grants@mynonprofit.org) to make future staff transitions easier.

We have found it is simplest to create an account using your email address rather than signing in through Google or Apple. If you choose Google or Apple, the system will require you to change your password during setup.

If your organization currently uses a Blackbaud product (such as Raiser’s Edge), you may log in using your existing Blackbaud ID by selecting “Continue with SSO” when creating your account.

To begin, click the Start 2026 Application button to log in or create your user ID and password.

Once logged in and started your new application, you will have access to prior applications and the option to copy and paste from them. To retrieve applications submitted in the previous application system (prior to 2025), please use this link.

Please note: If you have created a new user ID and password, you cannot start a new application from that confirmation page. To begin a new application, return to the website and click the Start 2026 Application button.

Online applications are preferred and strongly encouraged. If you are unable to apply online, you may submit a written proposal. Please contact Jennifer at jennifer@deefoundation.com for guidelines.
