Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Fulton, Mississippi?
The Bower Foundation, Amory Outreach Foundation Inc, Gilmore Sanitarium Inc Gilmore Foundation Inc, Charles & Annece Conlee Charitable Foundation, Brevard Family Foundation and 7 others reported grants to Fulton 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.
