Common questions

Which foundations give to nonprofits in Summit, New Jersey?

The Kimmelman Family Foundation C/O Rosanne Migliorino, Welsh Family Foundation Inc C/O Patrick Welsh, The Reeves Foundation Inc, Nicholas J and Anna K Bouras Foundation Inc, Donum Dei Foundation Inc and 95 others reported grants to Summit 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 Summit. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
