The Foundation accepts grant inquiries in two ways: the most common is a Request for Proposals published by the Foundation throughout the year. Please check the Foundation's website for the most recently updated information to see which RFP may best suit your organization's needs; the second method for unsolicited grant proposals is to submit a Letter of Inquiry directly to the Foundation (details available at http://www.ddcf.org/page.asp?pageId=355).
