Grant Opportunities

Dolan Family Foundation

The Dolan Family Foundation makes grants that benefit schools and youth, including general operating support for private schools.  The Foundation's primary focus is Long Island and other New England areas but other areas may be funded if of interest to the Dolan children.  Grantseekers are advised to call the Foundation and discuss their project prior to submitting a proposal. Robert F. Vizza is the president of the Dolan Family Foundation which is located at 1 Media Crossways, Woodbury, NY 11797.  The Foundation's phone number is (516) 629-2103 and their fax number is (516) 629-2183.

 

First Union Foundation

First Union Foundation funds innovative programs in communities where they do business that have a measurable impact on education. They look for programs that expand the availability of educational resources, improve the quality of education, and/or help children and youth reach their full potential. Special consideration is given to programs that have a high level of First Union employee involvement and those that are collaborative efforts that will leverage their investment. First Union makes education grants to eligible 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations in the following areas:

  • special programs for public preK-12 school systems (no capital projects or operating costs will be funded);
  • public education funds that effect positive, systemic change in education; and 
  • education-related projects such as Junior Achievement and drop-out prevention programs. 
  • They also provide funding to private and public institutions of higher education.

First Union also supports visual and performing arts organizations, public libraries, and various youth organizations. First Union funds programs that are in their operating communities in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.  Two-page letters of interest should be submitted to the contributions office in the state in which the proposed project is located.  We received guidelines from First Union Foundation by emailing a request to Tricia Murawski.
