Sunny Day Charitable Foundation

How to apply, from its 2025 IRS return

How to ask

Requests should include the organization's IRS determination letter confirming their non-profit status along with their most recent 990 tax document. Requests should be specific about what the funds will be used for if they are a recipient. For larger gifts, follow up accounting records may be requested to confirm restricted funds are being used properly.

Deadlines

For current year consideration, grant requests should be received by October 31st.

Limits on who can apply

This foundation will operate much like a community foundation with the majority of distributions made to local 501(c)3 organizations. Fields of interest include early childhood education, special programs to enhance education for K-12, scholarships for higher learning. The foundation will also focus on prevention of abuse/cruelty to women, children, and/or animals. Further consideration also given to organizations that serve the disabled, and/or those in need of medical care/treatments.
