Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Felton, California?
The Jean & E Floyd Kvamme Foundation, The J Miles and Rosanne Reiter Family Foundation, Michael & Alice Chetkovich Foundation, The Bruce and Carolyn Costin Martin Charitable Foundation, Mary and George Herbert Zimmerman Foundation (att Joan C Skrzyniarz) reported grants to Felton organizations on their latest Form 990-PF.
How do I approach a foundation that doesn't accept applications?
A foundation that checks "contributes only to preselected organizations" on its 990-PF won't review a cold proposal. Look at who it funds, find a shared board member, grantee or advisor, and ask for an introduction. Foundations that accept applications usually list a contact and deadlines in Part XV; we show that text on each foundation's page.
