Generally, foundations do not fund endowments or annual fundraising campaigns.
In cases no foundation is listed as funding a particular project, please note that the proposal may not have been reviewed yet by
the various foundation boards. It does not necessarily mean that a proposal has been rejected.
If no grant amount is shown, it does not necessarily mean that the particular funder did not or would not fund it. It may be that the
particular foundation was not approached.
