Author Description

For development officers and fund-raisers seeking charitable support for nonprofit organizations, this comprehensive annual guide profiles America's 638 leading grant-making foundations. The criterion for inclusion is either $10 million in assets or $500,000 in charitable giving. Profiles are arranged alphabetically by foundation name, and each detailed profile consists of up to 12 major elements: contact information, financial information, contributions summary, donor information, foundation philosophy, contributions analysis, typical recipients, officers and directors, application and review procedures, other things you should know, grants analysis, and recent grants. Many of these categories contain subcategories that offer more details about the profiled foundation. Eight indexes enable users to easily identify foundations appropriate to their research efforts.
