Proposals for competitive grants are considered based on how they enhance the quality of life for primarily Delawareans.

The Foundation is particularly interested in proactive, preventative and future-thinking proposals that create positive outcomes. Specifically, major emphasis is on support of organizations that strengthen life and concentrate on providing opportunity and access to quality education, cultural arts and services to enhance family well being.
Guidelines
- The charitable giving program is designed to respect the diversity of the communities, with particular interest in the African American community.
- Grants will be for short-term funding only – generally one year. An organization can apply for funding the following year for the same program. While The Gilliam Foundation generously funds many nonprofit organizations in the communities, it is impossible to fund every request received. The Foundation encourages seeking funds from multiple sources.
- Organizations must have tax-exempt status under IRS Section 501(c)(3).
