Description
The Community Foundation for Kettering Fund, associated with The Dayton Foundation, supports projects and activities benefiting residents of the Greater Kettering area. Its priorities include start-up or new projects that existing organizations are not currently addressing, as well as special efforts by existing organizations to undertake unique activities or projects.
The fund makes room for both new work addressing unmet needs and distinct initiatives within organizations already serving the community. It operates its own grant program, with application guidelines and deadlines separate from The Dayton Foundation’s general competitive grant programs.
