Grantmaking Guidelines

What does the D’Olier Foundation support?

The D’Olier Foundation supports the charitable purposes delineated in IRS Section 501(c)(3) with grants to institutions or causes that serve the community of Moorestown, New Jersey, and/or the Society of Friends. No grants are given to individuals.

The D’Olier Foundation focuses its financial support on 1) Quaker organizations and, 2) organizations in the Moorestown area of Southern New Jersey which have current connections to the community of Moorestown and which reflect ideas and values consistent with the Religious Society of Friends.  Proposals should serve the charitable purposes in the first paragraph, above.  Grants are given to support general as well as specific organizational goals.

The D’Olier Foundation urges applicants to submit proposals that not only focus on the charitable purposes above but also target a specific organization goal and can show measurable results from the Foundation’s grant, either in the short or long-term.

Organizations which have never received support from the D’Olier Foundation should answer the following questions before submitting an application:

  1. Is your organization a Quaker organization? If yes, you may submit the Quaker Organization Grant Application. Learn More
  2. Does your organization serve the community of Moorestown, NJ, or Southern New Jersey? If yes, you may submit the Community Organization Grant Application. Learn More

If you cannot answer Yes to either of these questions, your organization is not eligible for a grant – do not submit an application.
