Website Questions

I know that this specific funder exists so why are they not listed in your database?
  • The U.S. Charitable Giving database includes only those funders who accept proposals or letters of inquiry from a variety of nonprofit organizations. If you have a question about a funder, feel free to contact our Research Staff at research@grantstation, for they can look into that funder for you.
  • You can learn more about how we create our funder profiles.
Why don’t you list those funders who aren’t accepting unsolicited inquiries?
Our objective at GrantStation is to help our Members focus on the funding which they are most likely to receive. Therefore we focus our efforts on listing grantmakers who are most likely to respond to a request. We know most of our Members are performing grantseeking with limited resources and limited time, so we aim to give them the most likely leads for their efforts.
How often do you update your records?

Each of our funder records is scheduled for an update at least once each year, and typically more often if a record has multiple application deadlines. When possible, we coordinate our updates with a grantmaker's annual funding guidelines release schedule.

We also update records when we receive notices from grantmakers during the year. Many grantmakers listed in our database contact us directly when they have revised information to share.

In addition, we monitor numerous online and print philanthropic publications, which allows us to add recently released information to our funder records.
