Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Bethel, Pennsylvania?
Clarence H Klahr and Martha a Klahr Tr Fund C/O FIRST Citizens Comm, Robert J Bauer Family Foundation, Burkholder Family Foundation, Robert C Wenger Charitable Trust C/O Ephrata National Bank, The Tambur Family Foundation and 1 others reported grants to Bethel 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.
