Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Owenton, Kentucky?
Friends of the Owen County Library Inc, R & M Clark Family Foundation C/O Carole Lee Randall, Zembrodt Family Foundation Inc, The R C Durr Foundation Inc 541 Buttermilk Pike Suite 500, Owenton Rotary Student Loan Fund Inc and 2 others reported grants to Owenton 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?
No. It covers private foundations (Form 990-PF filers) whose latest electronic return lists at least one grant to an organization in Owenton. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
