Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Youngstown, Pennsylvania?
The Arnold D and Winifred W Palmer Foundation, George R & Janet E Desko Charitable Foundation, Western Pennsylvania Veteran Relief C/O Timothy J Kronenwetter, Phillip K Dupre Family Foundation reported grants to Youngstown 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.
