It’s December and your foundation wants to fulfill its payout requirement within the calendar year. What can you do?

Tips for meeting your minimum:

  • Ask your local community foundation, association of grantmakers, or giving circles for information about community needs and nonprofits they support.
  • Consult with members of the faith community.
  • Ask your government social services agencies, United Way, or other federated campaigns for recommendations of nongovernmental, nonprofit agencies with whom they work.
  • Ask at your workplace. Does your employer have a matching grants program or a corporate foundation?
