Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Mahomet, Illinois?

How do I approach a foundation that doesn't accept applications?

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.
