Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Groton, New York?
Park Foundation Inc, Joseph G Bradley Charitable Foundation, Bangs-Russell Foundation Xxx-Xx-Xxxx, Sadler Family Foundation, Legacy Foundation of Tompkins County and 1 others reported grants to Groton 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?
