Common questions

Which foundations give to nonprofits in Hanover, New Hampshire?

Tmt Charitable Foundation Inc, Frank Family Foundation, Corkins Family Foundation, The Raether Family Charitable Trust, Timothy and Barbara Michels Family Foundation and 95 others reported grants to Hanover 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 Hanover. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
