Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Bridger, Montana?
The Dreaming Place, Power Foundation Inc, Friends of the Bridger Public Library, Town Pump Charitable Foundation, First Interstate Bancsystem Foundation Inc and 1 others reported grants to Bridger 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?
