In 2022, Dogwood distributed more than $81 million in combined grants, impact investments, and other forms of support. While some grants fell specifically into one of our four strategic priority areas, a growing number of our investments weave through multiple focus areas. 

In 2023, based on feedback from Dogwood's grantee partners, the organization adopted a new grantmaking approach that consists of two grant cycles for strategic priority areas, and rolling applications for other opportunities. The new process helps clarify Dogwood's timelines so partners can better plan for and prepare applications.

While financial investments are definitely important to our partners, Dogwood also strives to bring other assets to the region. The most important of these is the relationships formed with regional partners and communities. Constant connection and learning are essential to achieving Dogwood's purpose, so the team is always out and about – seeking first to listen to partners and those with lived experiences, in order to better understand how to engage in creating new opportunities.
