Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in North Providence, Rhode Island?
Combined Townsend Fund, Ralph R Papitto & Barbara a Papitto Private Family Foundation, For the Sarah S Brown Fund, The Robbins-De Beaumont Foundation C/O John K Graham Manager, Amica Companies Foundation and 17 others reported grants to North Providence 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 North Providence. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
