Discretionary Grants

Discretionary Grants

These are grants for projects that are funded between the full Board meetings.

Introduction

The TY Danjuma Foundation provides discretionary grants to support relevant and immediate short term interventions within its focus areas that arise outside the Foundation’s annual call for proposals.

Benefits of Discretionary Grants

These grants enable the TYDF Executive Director respond to requests that emerge between full Board meetings. The Foundation believes that discretionary grants will be a useful tool for ensuring that its grant process is dynamic and to respond to small relevant unbudgeted requests.
