Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Hampton, Tennessee?
Tom & Shirley Palmer Family Foundation, Citizens Bank Tri-Cities Foundation Ltd, Tweed Family Foundation Inc, The Joe W and Frankie Mae Street Foundat, Tetrick Family Foundation and 2 others reported grants to Hampton 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.
