Foundations in Arkansas That Accept Grant Applications

Every one of these 30 foundations is based in Arkansas, gave to at least ten organizations we could identify, filed a return covering 2023 or later, and did not tell the IRS it funds only organizations it picks itself. Roughly three in four private foundations do tell the IRS exactly that; those are not listed here.

Ordered by number of organizations funded. A foundation supporting sixty groups is a far more realistic prospect than one writing two very large cheques, which is why this is not ranked by dollars.
