Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Santa Fe, California?
Turner Foundation Inc, Brenda & Dave Rickey Family Foundation, New Mexico Reggio Emilia Exchange, Hidden Leaf Foundation, Carol and Kent H Landsberg Foundation reported grants to Santa Fe 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.
