Resilia's Funder Finder was developed with a clear and vital mission: to facilitate connections between nonprofits and funders, whether they operate locally or nationally. The tool allows users to search for funders based on mission areas and funding size, providing valuable information about potential opportunities for nonprofit organizations.
Resilia Funder Finder uses IRS 990-PF data spanning from 2017-2023. We recommend using this tool to compile a list of potential funders for further research beyond Funder Finder. We have created a template for you to help in this process.
When using Funder Finder, you should focus on searching by:
1. State
2. Mission Area
3. State and Mission Area
When evaluating potential funders within Funder Finder, pay attention to:
1. The size of the listed gifts
2. The names and types of organizations they have supported
Once you identify funders that align with your organization's goals, copy the template and then use it to visit their respective websites and gather additional information to help you prioritize the best opportunities to pursue.
You can find the template here.
