Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Wallingford, Connecticut?
The Beaufort Foundation Inc, Hellmann Rmamer Cncr Soc Et Al, Bin Lin and Daisy Liu Family Foundation, The Meredith and Whitney George Family Foundation Inc, Wings for Things Foundation Inc and 95 others reported grants to Wallingford 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?
No. It covers private foundations (Form 990-PF filers) whose latest electronic return lists at least one grant to an organization in Wallingford. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
