  3. WHAT ATTRACTS YOUR ORGANIZATION TO FOUNDATIONS FOR YOUR FUNDRAISING STRATEGY? With legal restrictions preventing some government agencies in making grants to religious-affiliated organizations, MP YFC relies on private and public foundations to supplement the contributions from individual donors and company sponsorships.

  4. DESCRIBE A SIGNIFICANT PROJECT OR CAMPAIGN FUNDED (OR IS RECEIVING FUNDS) BY FOUNDATIONS. In 2013, a leader with MP YFC discovered that a National Guard Armory was for sale – the facility was ideal in location and had a large gymnasium and meeting room but required substantial renovation.

  5. EXPLAIN HOW FOUNDATIONSEARCH CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR FOUNDATION FUNDRAISING SUCCESS. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack,” Pam says about the time before MP YFC became a FoundationSearch member.

  6. WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR FOUNDATIONS TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR ORGANIZATION? In YFC’s first significant outreach to potential foundations, Pam understood that the organization, at the start, needed to demonstrate that other community donors and sponsors believe the organization was a good investment.

  7. WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR CHARITIES SEEKING FOUNDATION FUNDING? Pam’s advice is summed up in two words: be realistic. “One thing to know is that you’re not going always to get the amount you asked for,” Pam states, adding that FoundationSearch showing a particular foundation’s average grant amount helps to determine a realistic request.
