Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Bluffton, Ohio?
Trust Ua Henry W Eby Xxxxx8001, Mildred Moyer Charitable Trust Xxxxxxxx, Rl and Etta L Triplett Memorial Foundation, The John E Goerlich Charitable Trust, Berry Marie D Fd H Pfdn and 3 others reported grants to Bluffton 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 Bluffton. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
