The Foundation 1000: In-Depth Profiles of the 1000 Largest U.S. Foundations, 1999/2000
This directory is designed to help grant seekers find suitable sources of funds from among America’s 1,000 wealthiest foundations. According to the Foundation Center, which produces the guide, those foundations command more than $208-billion in assets and awarded $9-billion last year.
Each profile includes the foundation’s stated purpose, grant-making priorities and limitations, program areas, contact information, financial data, key officials, board members, policies and application guidelines, and publications.
Also featured are lists of sample grants and analyses of recent giving organized by subject, type of recipient, and type of support provided.
The guide has four indexes, organized by names of donors, officers, and trustees; by grant subject; by types of support offered; and, for international grant makers, by country and region.
The information contained in the profiles is culled from annual reports, lists of grants awarded, Internal Revenue Service Forms 990-PF, news releases, and other materials.
