Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Bingham, Maine?
John R Thoren Charitable Trust J Stephen Pullum Co-Trustee, Charles a Dean Trust Dtd 3121913, The Sukeforth Family Foundation, Franklin Savings Bank Community Development Foundation, Melmac Education Foundation and 1 others reported grants to Bingham 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.
