The Dolan Family Foundation makes grants that benefit schools and youth,
including general operating support for private schools. The Foundation's
primary focus is Long Island and other New England areas but other areas may be
funded if of interest to the Dolan children. Grantseekers are advised to
call the Foundation and discuss their project prior to submitting a proposal.

First Union Foundation
First Union Foundation funds innovative programs in communities where they do
business that have a measurable impact on education. They look for programs
that expand the availability of educational resources, improve the quality of
education, and/or help children and youth reach their full potential. Special
consideration is given to programs that have a high level of First Union
employee involvement and those that are collaborative efforts that will
leverage their investment. First Union makes education grants to eligible
501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations in the following areas:
- special programs for public preK-12 school systems (no
capital projects or operating costs will be funded);
- public education funds that effect positive, systemic
change in education; and
- education-related projects such as Junior Achievement
and drop-out prevention programs.
- They also provide funding to private and public
institutions of higher education.
First Union also supports visual and
performing arts organizations, public libraries, and various youth
organizations.
First Union funds programs that are in
their operating communities in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Two page letters of interest
should be submitted to the contributions office in the state in which the
proposed project is located. We received guidelines from First Union
Foundation by emailing a request to Tricia
Murawski.
