Mission & Focus Areas

The organization’s filing states that it was formed to raise money and gifts of property and distribute them exclusively for charitable purposes in a manner supportive of The Dayton Foundation’s charitable purposes. It also says the organization reviewed grant recommendations to ensure distributions would not be used for private benefit or political activities or campaigns.

The 2023 grants included support for varied charitable organizations. For example, Dayton History describes its own purpose as promoting and preserving the history of Dayton and the surrounding region and providing educational experiences. The Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation describes its mission as preserving and enhancing the Wawasee watershed. Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Central Florida says its mission is to improve children’s health and well-being through its Ronald McDonald House and Family Room programs. These are grantees’ stated missions, not the funder’s.

In 2023, the organization made 10 grants totaling $86,550. Grants ranged from $5,400 to $12,000, with a median of $8,000.

The organization’s 2022 filing says it made 64 grants to 56 charitable organizations from 15 funds during that year. The Dayton Foundation’s website describes competitive grant programs for Greater Dayton nonprofits, including Greenlight Grants and discretionary grants, but the available information does not establish an application process for this organization.
