Grantee Eligibility
The DMWGC supports registered 501(c)(3) organizations, in good financial standing, that meet the needs of under-served populations in San Diego County.
Each DMWGC member may nominate up to 2 organizations for grant consideration each year
Selection of finalists and grant recipients is determined by an email voting process of members beginning in January each year
Additional Considerations
The DMWGC seeks to support non-profit organizations whose stated mission it is to serve the people of San Diego and meet an identified need.
We are open to supporting faith-based or faith-affiliated 501(c)3 organizations so long as our support is directed towards providing a service in a non-discriminatory fashion, and that a specific faith-based activity is not what is being funded.
As most Political organizations are not registered 501(c)3s, they would not be eligible for funding. Further, we seek to avoid supporting organizations whose underlying purpose is political in nature.
Recognizing some of the above considerations might be a matter of individual opinion, we allow the grants committee to use its discretion when determining eligibility, and we agree to respect the democratic process, honoring each member’s individual right to vote according to her comfort level
Restrictions
An organization may receive grant funding from DMWGC in 2 consecutive years, but then must not participate for at least one year after receiving funding for 2.
Maximum of 2 organizations nominated per member, per giving cycle
