Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Sherrill, Iowa?
James B & Melita a McDonough Foundation, Jack Deloss Taylor Charitable Trust, The Butler Family Foundation, Ay McDonald Charitable Foundation, Medical Associates Foundation of Dubuque and 6 others reported grants to Sherrill 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?
