Foundation search

Search private foundations by name, city or State, or by EIN. Results show what each gave in its latest year and whether it takes applications.

50 foundations, the 50 largest by giving. Giving is the return’s total of grants paid in the year; assets are the year-end figure from its balance sheet; “Preselected only” is the box a foundation checks when it does not accept unsolicited requests.
