Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Emory, Texas?
The John and Bonnie Strauss Foundation, Koch Foundation Inc, Jpmorgan Chase Foundation, Sondra Nelson Pace Foundation reported grants to Emory 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.
