Common questions

Which foundations give to nonprofits in Dover, Ohio?

Reeves Foundation, Tuscarawas County Community Foundat, Doris & Floyd Kimble Foundation, Maurice Toomey 1976 Char Tr, Lrg Impact and 21 others reported grants to Dover 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 Dover. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
