Regular Grant Application (Grants from $3,000 to $15,000)

You may either download our grant application or utilize our on-line application when applying for a Regular, Mini, and Opportunity Grant. See below for instructions.

ON-LINE APPLICATION: Follow these instructions and suggestions to ensure that your application will be processed. NOTE: We advise that you save your information in another format, such as a Word document, as a measure of protection.

1. Login to your account or register to become a member.
2. Access the appropriate online application (Regular, Mini or Opportunity) by clicking here (or visit our Forms page).
3. We encourage you to write out your answers to each application question in a Word document prior to completing the online app, rather than typing your responses directly into the online application form.
4. When filling out the application, please provide as much detail as possible, including full dates. Error messages will pop if a field is not filled-out correctly.
5. Refrain from using commas in numerical figures. For example, instead of keying $3,000.00, try $3000.00. Commas, however, can be recognized in the narrative portions of the application.
6. The application will only accept PDF-formatted attachments (e.g., resumes). If added material is needed for the application and cannot be converted into PDF, please contact the Grants Management office at DHF for alternative solutions.
7. Please save your application-you may return to it at any point.

DOWNLOAD:

1. Download the appropriate online application (Regular, Mini or Opportunity) by clicking here. Each downloadable app is available as a Word document or a PDF. The Adobe Reader program is required to print a PDF file; this program can be downloaded direct from Adobe for free. A full version of Adobe Acrobat is required to complete and save the PDF application online; however, this program is not free. If you cannot download the PDF, please use the Word version; complete online or print and type directly onto the application.
2. Submit the application via email or mail. A fax is also acceptable (fax no: 302-657-0655), but not preferred.
   • Email application and attachments to jrockwell [at] dhf [dot] org . (E-mail addresses are spelled out to reduce spam. To send an e-mail, simply change the “at” and “dot” to "@" and "." when you copy the address.) Note that DHF requires two signatures on grant applications, therefore you may need to print and scan the first page of your document.
