Foundations in Virginia That Accept Grant Applications

Every one of these 195 foundations is based in Virginia, gave to at least ten organizations we could identify, filed a return covering 2023 or later, and did not tell the IRS it funds only organizations it picks itself. Roughly three in four private foundations do tell the IRS exactly that; those are not listed here.

12,152funding relationships mapped

Ordered by number of organizations funded, not by dollars. Funding more organizations means more turnover in who gets a grant each year, which is a reasonable proxy for how often a list like this one changes -- it is not a signal that any specific foundation is open to a new, unsolicited applicant.

Virginia foundations that fund only organizations they pick

Each of these told the IRS it does not accept unsolicited requests, so none is in the list above. Each has a page because a real share of its giving went to community foundations and other organizations that make grants themselves, and the page names them. Ordered by number of organizations funded.
