Please DO NOT apply if you have not received a grant from the foundation within the last three years. It will not be considered at this time.

The Application portal is open for eligible organizations that have received funding in the last three years. The Statement of Inquiry portal is currently closed. If you have not received a grant from the foundation in the last three years, please check back mid-May for any updates regarding submitting a Statement of Inquiry.

NOTE: We will be moving to a new application portal beginning in February, which will hopefully make the application process easier. Before you begin your 2025 application, you will need to create a new user ID and password. See Application Procedure for creating your User ID.

Grant applications will be considered from established tax-exempt organizations and institutions whose purposes are charitable, educational, artistic, promoting conservation, or providing social and health services in the Ogden and Salt Lake communities.

Applicant organizations must have a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax-exempt status to be eligible to apply. Proof of 501(c)(3) status is required. Individuals or lobbying organizations are not eligible to apply.

The Board will consider eligible proposals within seasonal guidelines, but please be aware that funding limitations, geographic preference (see Home page), and Board interests prevent many applications from being approved.

The Foundation’s Board of Directors meets two times per calendar year to consider unsolicited requests – in the spring and in the fall. Funding requests can be submitted once the application process opens up in February.

Application deadlines:

Spring funding period is April 15

Fall funding period is September 15.

Invited requests may be considered at other times during the year.

Organizations may only submit one application for consideration each year.

Applications may be carried over for consideration into a future period.

You will need your IRS Tax ID# (as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization) to begin the online application process.

Due to the portal updates, applicants will need to create a new user ID and password. We encourage you to use a generic email address (example: grants@mynonprofit.org) to make any future transition from employee to employee smoother.

We have also found that creating an account with your email instead of using Google, or Apple accounts, is simpler. The system will ask you to change your password for Google and Apple.

If you are currently using a Blackbaud product (such as Raiser’s Edge), you can now use that Blackbaud ID/login for this application by Continuing with SSO when creating your account.

Use the Start 2025 Application button below to create your new User ID/password.

Be advised that your application history will be starting over in the new portal. You may want to download any previous applications prior to starting your new application. To retrieve previous applications go to this link.

Once you create a new UserID and password the system does not allow you to start new application from that page. To access a new application, return to the website and click the Start 2025 Application button.

We prefer and encourage online applications, but if you are unable to apply online, you may submit a written proposal. Contact Jennifer at jennifer@deefoundation.com for guidelines.
