Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Elkton, Kentucky?
Tr Ua Lillian M Johnson, E Rhodes and Leona B Carpenter Foundation, Rotary Club of Elkton Inc, Melrow and Barbara Wells Fdn reported grants to Elkton 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.
