What does the D’Olier Foundation support?
The D’Olier Foundation supports the charitable purposes delineated in IRS Section 501(c)(3) with grants to institutions or causes that serve the community of Moorestown, New Jersey, and/or the Society of Friends. No grants are given to individuals.
The D’Olier Foundation focuses its financial support to Quaker organizations and, in the South Jersey region, to organizations or government entities that have current connections to the community of Moorestown and support the Quaker values of Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and/or Stewardship.
The D’Olier Foundation urges applicants to submit proposals that not only focus on the charitable purposes above but also target a specific organization goal and can show measurable results from the Foundation’s grant, either in the short or long-term.
Organizations which have never received support from the D’Olier Foundation should answer the following questions before submitting an application:
- Is your organization a Quaker organization? If yes, you may submit the Quaker Organization Grant Application. Learn More
- Does your organization serve the community of Moorestown, NJ, or Southern New Jersey? If yes, you may submit the Community Organization Grant Application. Learn More
If you cannot answer Yes to either of these questions, your organization is not eligible for a grant – do not submit an application.

What post-grant documentation is required?
Organizations receiving awards must provide the following documentation by June 30th the following year by email with the subject line beginning with the name or initials of the organization:
- Grant Expenditure Budget (If grant is not fully expended by June 30, provide a detailed plan for how and when the grant will be used and a full report within two weeks of the end of the program or September 15, whichever is earlier.)
- Impact Statement: The Impact Statement should provide a detailed but concise explanation of who or what was directly and indirectly affected by the grant funds with measurable data.

The D’Olier Foundation reserves the right to request documentation of actual expenditures at any time.

Organizations which submit late reports may apply in later years; so long as the post grant documentation is provided by June 30th of the later year.
