Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Phoenix, Colorado?
The Corley Legacy Foundation, Donahue Foundation, The Weingarten Schnitzer Foundation Inc reported grants to Phoenix 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.
