The Davis Educational Foundation is seeking applications for its Implementation Grants Program.
Donor Name: Davis Educational Foundation
State: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
Type of the Grant: Grant
Deadline: 05/13/2022
Details:
The Davis Educational Foundation supports regionally accredited baccalaureate degree granting public and private colleges and universities in New England.
Implementation Grants represent the original grantmaking program and are available for any of the foundation’s objectives – teaching and learning and/or cost and affordability.
Examples of funded projects include:
- Projects that improve the curriculum, the learning environment, assessment of undergraduate learning outcomes, faculty development, incentive systems, and administrative structures.
- Preference is given to projects aimed at strengthening the general education core of the undergraduate experience.
- Individual as well as collaborative efforts among colleges and universities to reduce costs and improve learning.
- Studies and planning efforts central to the foundation’s concerns and interests.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible institutions meet the following conditions:
- Are public or private and not-for-profit.
- Are regionally-accredited baccalaureate degree granting.
- Are located in one of the six New England states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
- Are single institutions or consortia of eligible institutions.
- The foundation uses the Carnegie Foundation basic classification to determine eligibility of institutions newly-approved to offer the four year degree. A college is an eligible baccalaureate degree granting institution once it offers multiple four year degrees and awards 10 percent of its degrees as four year degrees.
- The foundation reserves the right to deem institutions placed on probation by the regional accrediting agency as ineligible.
- The foundation typically does not award concurrent grants to institutions. The concurrent award restriction does not apply to institutions participating in consortia-funded grants or those awarded funding under the Presidential Grant Program. Again, if there is any question about your institution’s eligibility, please do not submit an application without first contacting the foundation.
- Endowments, scholarships, and capital campaign requests are not eligible for funding.
