Common questions
How many foundation funders does Bloomwell have in its database?
Bloomwell currently has 637 verified foundation funder records, searchable by mission focus, geography, grant size range, and NTEE code. The database also includes 9,700+ federal and state grant opportunities.
How is Bloomwell different from pulling 990 tax filings on GuideStar?
990 filings tell you what a foundation funded in the past — but reading them is time-consuming and requires interpretation. Bloomwell structures that research for you: searchable by cause area, geography, and grant size, with giving history surfaced without requiring you to read raw tax documents.
Can I search for foundations that fund organizations in my specific city or county?
Yes. Bloomwell's funder search filters by geography — state, region, and in many cases city or county — so you can identify foundations with local or regional funding priorities that match where your organization operates.
What does "verified" mean for funder records?
Verified means the funder record has been reviewed for accuracy — active giving status, correct contact information, and current funding focus areas. We remove foundations that have closed, paused grantmaking, or significantly shifted their priorities.
Does Bloomwell include community foundations and donor-advised funds?
Bloomwell includes community foundations in its database. Donor-advised funds are generally not searchable as individual funders since grant decisions are made by individual donors rather than foundation staff — we focus on funders with organized grantmaking programs.
