IRS 990s

Fundraising HayDay ·

2024/10/31

Foundation and corporate grants are a funding source for many nonprofit organizations, but since these funders are not required to have a website, your best source of information is their annual Form 990. On that document they are required to share information about their assets, board members, recent grantees, and a few details about how to submit an application (or not if they do not accept unsolicited applications).

Many grant proposals allow, and sometimes require, letters of support.
