The Dyson Foundation will consider grants to support the supplemental or ongoing needs of a single organization or a group of organizations that have undergone a strategic restructuring in the previous 12 months. Grant amounts vary and will be based on the nature of the restructured entity or program and overall financial sustainability. Organizations can apply for single-year or multi-year grants.

Examples of how these funds could be used include:

• general operating support for the newly merged organization;
• salary costs for staff essential to the functioning of the restructured entity or program;
• new technology or equipment to support the restructured entity or program.

To apply for a Post-Restructuring Support Grant, submit a letter of inquiry using our Grants Portal.

If, on the basis of your letter of inquiry, the proposed activity or project appears to fit within the scope of the Dyson Foundation's Strategic Restructuring Initiative, you will be invited to submit additional information or a fully developed proposal.

Foundation staff will generally work closely with applicants to develop an acceptable proposal and related materials. Please review the How to Apply section of this website for more detailed information on the Dyson Foundation's grantmaking process.
