The foundation's impact goals are centered around measurable positive changes in these areas, striving to improve environmental health, animal care, and public awareness of natural issues.

The foundation's priorities and focus areas are clearly defined, encompassing Care of Animals, Environment Health, Land Management, Research, and Education, Public Awareness, and Recreational initiatives. These areas reflect the strategic priorities of the Dutton Foundation, which seeks to address critical needs in conservation, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship.

These grants are designed to fund programs and projects that will be completed within one year of the award date. The foundation's mission, as indicated by its focus areas, is deeply rooted in human services, aiming to address critical needs within Arizona communities. While the specific "foundation mission alignment" and "strategic priorities and theory of change" are not explicitly stated, they are implicitly demonstrated through the consistent focus on human services and community impact. The program's primary target beneficiaries are organizations located in Arizona that serve various populations in need. The "impact goals" are to alleviate suffering and improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing homelessness, those requiring indigent healthcare, and youth participating in various programs. While programs operated by schools and youth sports leagues typically fall under other grant programs, the broader human services category ensures a wide reach. The exclusion of certain funding areas like annual appeals, capital campaigns, and endowments further defines the scope of their intended impact, emphasizing direct program support. The grant program's priorities and focuses are clearly delineated: homelessness, indigent healthcare, and youth programs. Additionally, other human services requests will be considered, demonstrating a flexible yet targeted approach. This indicates a strategic priority on immediate and direct community intervention rather than long-term infrastructural or endowment building. The focus on short-term, impactful projects with a one-year completion timeline suggests a theory of change centered on addressing pressing community issues through focused, measurable interventions. To ensure accountability and demonstrate "expected outcomes and measurable results," eligible organizations are required to submit an end-of-year Grant Progress Report. The application process itself mandates the submission of detailed information, including an Agency Overview, Board of Directors Roster, Financial Statements, Program/Project Timeline, Use of Funds Description, and Outcome Measurements.
