Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Bradley, Illinois?
Edward Jones Foundation, Thomas & Maureen Oconnor Family Foundation, Schneider National Foundation Inc, J&n Hope Foundation, Dow Company Foundation and 3 others reported grants to Bradley 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?
