Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania?
Morgan Joshua R Charitable Tr Main, George and Lucy Malmberg Foundation, The Shanahan Family Charitable Foundation, Wellcome Leap Inc, Challenger Foundation and 95 others reported grants to Newtown Square 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 Newtown Square. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
