Is Foundation Funding Right for Your Program Need? Before you send a proposal, determine if foundation support is right for your program need. A self-directed learning tool has been developed as a GIZMO (Giving Information for Zooming Money Objectives) for CNCS called the “Sources of Giving”. Many colleagues are using the wall chart to help volunteer fundraising leaders understand the pluses and minuses of the myriad sources of contributions and then applying that information to the most appropriate fundraising methodology – i.e., direct mail, special events, foundations, etc. The advantages and challenges of private foundation funding are shown below.
Read the following foundation descriptions to assist you in researching and soliciting the appropriate foundation for your program need. Private
foundations Public foundations are nongovernmental public charities that operate grants programs benefiting unrelated organizations or individuals as one of its primary purposes. Increasingly, public foundations are being established to receive funds and make grants for populations with special needs, for specific subject areas, or around other non-geographic communities of interest. Think community foundations. Operating Foundations Operating Foundations exist to support one cause or organization only and are not open to receiving proposals. They are basically the fundraising arm of an organization. Think Fund for Educational Excellence which supports public school system, or a university foundation such as the Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc. For
more information on any of these foundations, use
Corporate Foundations Companies are not required to give away any funds. Corporations may create a separate foundation out of a one-time company gift or they may continue to support the foundation through multiple gifts. A company-sponsored foundation is subject to the same IRS rules as a private foundation and has its own governing board of trustees.
