Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Colonia, New Jersey?
The Dardin Fund Inc, Joint Council No 73 Scholarship Fund, Gawronski Family Foundation Inc, Campbell Family Foundation Inc C/O Robert E Campbell, Verizon Foundation and 1 others reported grants to Colonia 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.
