Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Tucumcari, New Mexico?
C W and Dee McMullen Community Foundation, Carroll Petrie Foundation, The Lre Foundation, Burns Family Foundation, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and 3 others reported grants to Tucumcari 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?
