Not only private foundations

Community foundations, United Ways and other charities that regrant do not file Form 990-PF and are not in the list above. They moved more money than the private foundations did, and a community foundation exists to take applications in a way a family trust does not. Browse grantmaking charities.

A foundation is profiled here when it accepts unsolicited requests, gave to at least 10 organizations we could identify by name, and filed a return covering 2023 or later. We would rather publish 8,915 pages worth reading than 137,000 that are not.
