Applicants should become familiar with the Dollar Bank Contributions Program giving guidelines and realize that such guidelines are subject to change without notice, and that each request is analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Grants are made on an annual basis and recipients must apply yearly.
Dollar Bank receives more funding requests than it can grant in any particular year. If it is necessary to decline support of a worthwhile organization or program, the decision is not an adverse reflection on the value of the non-profit or its service, but rather an unfortunate necessity based on limited resources. Contributions or grants do not establish entitlement for additional or continuing support or set precedents for future funding.
