Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Hollywood, Maryland?
The Thomas Benjamin Combs Trust, Nancy Ruyle Dodge Charitable Trust, William J Cammack Foundation Co William D Cammack, Homes for Heroes Foundation, St Marys Council No 1470 Charities and 6 others reported grants to Hollywood 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 Hollywood. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
