Foundations whose latest return shows grants on the cause in Illinois, with their largest such grants. These lists are not ranked for your profile.

Good fit, but invitation only

These foundations reported that they give only to preselected organizations. Building a relationship is the only way in.

Filtered out: their restrictions rule you out

Their past giving fits your causes, but the restrictions they filed with the IRS exclude your organization, so they are not ranked above.
