Wayne Duddlesten Foundation Grant

The Wayne Duddlesten Foundation supports programs that work to resolve societal problems strategically.

Because the Foundation receives more proposals than it can fund, it should not be interpreted that submitting a grant request is an indication of likely support. Every grant should be understood to be issued on a one-time basis.

Limited grants may be made to projects and programs of special interest to Wayne Duddlesten Foundation board members.

Our Mission

“Helping the least served people – people with serious needs, limited resources, and few alternatives. Since education is a key to society’s ills, funding for education programs that work. Programs that teach young people how to think and reason, programs that teach about the greatness of America and the benefits and rewards of a free-market, capitalist society.”
