  • Organizations that limit membership and services based on race, religion, color, creed, sex, age or national origin

Dominion does not typically fund university research projects or endow chairs. The primary interest of the Dominion Foundation is to support programs. Consequently, support of capital campaigns is limited and provided on an exceptional basis.
