Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Chesapeake City, Maryland?
Brown Family Foundation Inc, The Dansko Foundation Inc, Leader Family Foundation, The Sykora Family Charitable Foundation, Sharp Foundation and 3 others reported grants to Chesapeake City 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?
