Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Newbury, Massachusetts?
George P Bishop Foundation Inc, Institution for Savings in Newburyport & Its Vicinity Charitable Foundation Inc, F&o Ttee a M Coker Tr Noyes Schol, Edward S & Winifred G Moseley Foundation, The Mary P Barton Charitable Foundation Irrev and 7 others reported grants to Newbury 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 Newbury. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
