Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Cresco, Pennsylvania?
R Dale & Frances M Hughes Fdn 47f100011, The Weiler Family Foundation Inc, The Clifton Foundation Inc, Moses Taylor Foundation Inc, Ward Foundation and 3 others reported grants to Cresco 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?
