Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in North Lima, Ohio?
Beautiful Feet Foundation, Dale and Alyce Sheely Foundation, E M Barr Tw Charitable Trust, Frank & Pearl Gelbman Charitable Fdn, James & Coralie Centofanti Charitable Foundation and 1 others reported grants to North Lima 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.
