Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Laporte, Colorado?
Willliam H & Mattie Wattis Harris Foundation, Hufty Foundation, The Korff Foundation, Otter Cares Foundation Aka Ottercares Foundation, The Trio Foundation and 3 others reported grants to Laporte 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.
Is this list complete?
