This section offers answers to frequently asked questions about the Foundation, grant application procedures, Foundation programs and grantmaking, and other issues related to the mission of Dakota Medical Foundation.
How did Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF) get its start?
I’ve heard good things about your Foundation. How can I make a tax-deductible donation or provide dollars for a specific health purpose?
What types of grantmaking programs does the Foundation have?
The Foundation seeks to achieve its mission through a grant program consisting of initiative, responsive, match, and donor advised grants.
INITIATIVE GRANTS: Foundation-sponsored, strategic grant programs with specific measurable goals that address a particular health focus area. The Foundation’s current health focus areas are access to quality medical and dental care, especially for children. The Foundation may seek funding from other sources to enhance the impact of its initiatives.
RESPONSIVE GRANTS: Unsolicited requests that seek to improve access to medical or dental care services or measurably improve another significant health issue. The responsive program places a special emphasis on children’s health needs.
MATCH GRANTS: Leveraged Foundation resources to improve health. Through its grantmaking expertise, performance measurement policies and resource development efforts, the Foundation adds significant value to the donated funds, in addition to providing matching dollars.
DONOR ADVISED GRANTS: Donor recommended grants are based on recommendations DMF receives from a donor who has established a Donor Advised Fund within the Foundation. Grants are invested in nonprofit organizations whose programs or projects measurably improve health and access to healthcare services. Additionally, each donor establishes specific areas of interest they would like to support.
LEND A HAND: Lend A Hand is a pilot program to expand assistance to individuals and/or families experiencing financial hardship due to a medical crisis.
