Smaller Foundations
& Resources


Smaller foundations can be a great resource. Go on line and do some research to see what you can find. Check websites often for announcements and deadlines. Remember that local foundations are good sources. Some national foundations are the philanthropic arm of corporations or companies, and they often fund programs located in the geographic areas where the firm has plants, shops, offices or other activities. This should not be considered an exhaustive list, by any means, but just a place to start.
