Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Macy, Nebraska?
The Sherwood Foundation, Julian Grace Foundation, Theodore R and Vivian M Johnson Scholarship Foundation Inc, Herbert T Weston Jr and Marian S Weston Foundation, The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation and 1 others reported grants to Macy 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.
