Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Scandia, Minnesota?
J Mithun Trust Fbo Mithun Foundation, Fred C and Katherine B Andersen Foundation, Gold Bay Foundation, Amgis Foundation, G & D Peterson Foundation and 1 others reported grants to Scandia 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?
