Find a foundation’s own grant priorities and confirm whether it accepts proposals.
Program rules, amounts, and dates can change. Check the linked official sources for the current cycle.
Start with the official website
Look for mission, programs, geographic focus, eligible applicants, and application process. Some funders accept proposals only by invitation or during set cycles.
Verify relevant organization details
Use IRS resources to check tax-exempt organization information when relevant. Status alone does not mean a program is open or that your project qualifies.
Confirm terms directly
Review restrictions, reporting, award timing, and required documents using contact information from the foundation’s own site.
