Common questions
Which foundations give to nonprofits in Fox Point, Wisconsin?
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Inc, Harri Hoffmann Family Foundation Inc, Alan and Amy Meltzer Family Foundation Inc, Sonnentag American Foundation Inc, Eugene J Eder Charitable Foundation Inc and 20 others reported grants to Fox Point 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 Fox Point. Community foundations and corporate giving programs file different forms and are not included yet.
