Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Afton, New York?
Fred M Teel Charitable Trust, Dorothy M Hamilton & Fred Hamilton Foundation, Adair Foundation, Celia Jewell Tt Fbo Seven Charities Dtd 124, The Busfield Foundation and 3 others reported grants to Afton 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.
