Grantmaking Strategy
The Dana Foundation makes grants through its various grantmaking programs. Grant applications are made to a particular program, and interested applicants should read carefully through the Foundation's program descriptions in the Our Work section of the website. Each program page includes the program's goal and objectives, a list of recent grants, and a section with information about how to apply. In selecting projects for funding, the Foundation evaluates alignment with our programmatic goals and objectives and with our values.

Our Grants
We advance neuroscience that inspires transformational ideas where the field intersects with education, law, policy, and public engagement, among others. With grants that support interdisciplinary, collaborative work, we foster experimentation, investigation, and fresh thinking to open up pathways toward a better future.
