Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in East Dubuque, Illinois?
Woodward Foundation Inc, Medical Associates Foundation of Dubuque, Ay McDonald Charitable Foundation, Crescent Electric Charitable Foundation, Dupaco Rw Hoefer Foundation and 2 others reported grants to East Dubuque 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.
