Читать книгу Grant Writing For Dummies - Stan Hutton, Beverly A. Browning - Страница 21

Private foundations typically get their monies from a single-donor source, such as an individual, a family, or a corporation. Others raise funds from a variety of donor sources. You can find hundreds of private foundations in the Foundation Directory Online by Candid or by typing “list of private foundations” or “private foundations” plus your state’s name into your favorite search engine.

Public foundations, on the other hand, are supported primarily through donations from the general public. That’s a no-brainer, right? Public foundations also receive funding from foundation and corporate grants, as well as individual donors. Again, the Foundation Directory Online by Candid website can give you loads of information on these types of foundations.

The grantseeking and grantmaking processes may differ for public and private foundations. Always contact potential foundation funders to introduce your organization, start to build a communications bridge, and inquire about their grantmaking processes.
