The foundations already funding nonprofits like yours.

Public IRS Form 990-PF filings for processing years 2024–2026. That build covers about 134,000 foundations and about 4.1 million grant lines. A filing lists grants the foundation made, the recipient, and the amount. Processing year is the year the IRS posted the return, not necessarily the year the grant was paid.

IRS releases lag. The newest public return for a foundation is often 1–2 years behind the grants they are making now. Staff, guidelines, and deadlines change. Use the report as a researched starting list, then check the foundation's current instructions before you apply.

A ranked list of private foundations that have funded organizations in the same NTEE cause and the same state or nearby region. For each one: grant history from the filings, a typical grant size, and how to apply when the public record says so. A full report aims for 25–50 foundations. If fewer foundations show up in the filings, you get as many as are actually there.

Yes. The free sample is Jessamine County Food Pantry in Nicholasville, Kentucky: 31 peer nonprofits and 44 foundations. Download it from the site. You can also ask for a short list for your own mission — the top 5 foundations, by email. That shorter list is not the paid report.

We email the PDF within 5 business days of payment. If we miss that window, email us and you can cancel for a full refund.

Full refund within 14 days of delivery if the report has fewer than 10 relevant funders. A 3-pack refunds $49 for that report, or the full $129 if you cancel before any report is delivered. Details are on the refund policy page.

$49 is one report. $129 is three reports. Nothing renews. We never see or store your card number. When checkout is on, Stripe hosts the payment page.

No. A foundation on the list has given to similar work in a public filing. That is a reason to look them up, not a promise they will fund you. Many will decline. We don't write the proposal and we don't submit it.

No. An EIN is the federal employer identification number, formatted like 12-3456789. It helps us match the right organization. If you leave it blank, describe the mission instead. We don't ask for bank details, passwords, or a copy of your return.

We are starting with Kentucky and neighboring states (Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia). You can still order from another state. If the public filings don't support at least 10 relevant funders, the refund policy applies.

Small nonprofits, roughly under a $2 million annual budget, and freelance grant writers working with them. It is a poor fit if you need a live national database, corporate and government grants, or someone to write the applications.
