Live programs funding low-income communities that your nonprofit can apply to now.
Who can apply: 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (or equivalent) generally; projects outside the U.S. require a well-known U.S.-based organization for due diligence. Foundation funds specific projects with detailed budgets, not general operating support.
From William G Mcgowan Charitable Fund
Who can apply: Applicant must be a 501(c)(3) organization whose work addresses the Fund's goals. Eligible requests include program or operating support. Some regions are invitation-only, including certain counties in Kansas/Missouri and Chicago neighborhoods; Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties have a special restriction for food insecurity requests requiring invitation.
Who can apply: Organizations must be nonprofit organizations (not individuals). Funding will not be provided for lobbying/political activities, sectarian/religious organizations whose request benefits only members, organizations that discriminate, individual scholarships, requests that supplant existing support, or Supporting Organizations as defined by the IRS. Applicants are asked to contact the Foundation by phone or email prior to submission.
Who can apply: Must be a 501(c)(3) organization. Organizations should demonstrate a viable plan to achieve and sustain the program/activity funded, competent management and boards, and the ability to measure and report results.
Who can apply: Social service organizations that assist low-income and homeless families may apply through a local Windermere office. Applications should be submitted to an office local to the families being served, and if serving a large geographic area applicants should limit submission to no more than three offices. Funds must be distributed through an eligible nonprofit organization and tracked back to the families and children served. Public schools, colleges, and vocational schools are also eligible for funding.
From Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota
Who can apply: Organizations with programs or projects aligned to the foundation's funding priorities in the seven-county metropolitan area; the foundation welcomes projects or programs that fit its interests.
