Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Forestville, Maryland?
Clark Charitable Foundation Inc Dba a James & Alice B Clark Foundation, Annie E Casey Foundation Inc, Public Welfare Foundation Inc, The John J Pohanka Family Foundation, The Erkiletian Family Foundation and 3 others reported grants to Forestville 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.
