The Detroit Public Schools Foundation welcomes requests for funding from DPS departments/divisions/offices, DPS schools, DPS-chartered schools and 501(c)(3) organizations that provide programs supporting DPS, DPS schools, and DPS-chartered schools. Click on “Grant Application Process” for an explanation of the procedure for applying for funding from the Foundation. The first step in the process is submission of a Letter of Inquiry. Depending on the Foundation’s response to your Letter of Inquiry, you may be asked to submit a Grant Proposal Form containing additional information.
As noted above, if the Foundation wishes additional information, it will ask the applicant to submit a Grant Proposal Form. Click on the appropriate link below to review Grant Proposal Forms for DPS/DPS school, DPS-chartered school or organization. However, DO NOT submit a Grant Proposal Form unless requested by the Foundation.
If the Foundation awards you a grant, you will be asked to evaluate the funded project/program/
activity after its completion. Failure to timely submit the evaluation will affect consideration of future funding for you. Click on the link below to review the Post-Grant Self-Evaluation Form so that you are aware of the aspects of your project/program/activity that the Foundation will want you to evaluate. However, DO NOT submit the form until after the completion of your project/program/activity and within 30 days after completion.
