FOUNDATIONS by Joseph Dermer Foundations last year gave away 2.4 billion dollars. Rich with examples, “The New How to Raise Funds from Foundations” tells you how your organization should go about getting its fair share. It may be that you already have a copy of the earlier edition of this landmark manual on foundation fund-raising. If so, it will still pay you to get this totally revised edition. in detail in 4. A new section on how to improve your chances while your proposal is being considered—again, never before published— has been specially written for the new book. 5. Recent Federal legislation has altered the foundation world profoundly. The new edition spells out for the first time the new techniques required to secure grants. 6 7. . Despite many increases in publishing costs, the price of the new manual has stayed virtually the same. All Public Service Materials Center publications are sold on a ful/ money-back guarantee. HOW TO NNRITE SUCCESSFUL FOUNDATION FRRESENTATIONS by Joseph Dermer One of the country’s leading foundation ex- perts opens his files to tell you not only how to write successful foundation presentations, but also to provide you with examples of actual grant-winning presentations.

The first edition of this book (1971-72) represented a giant information breakthrough in providing vital, accurate facts about who was receiving grants from America’s large foundations and how much. This new edition is bigger, more comprehensive and more detailed. The information it provides is remarkably up-to-date. e@ It includes over 750 foundations — all with assets of more than $1 million — with the address of each foundation given. These foundations control 90% of foundation assets and make over 80% of all foundation grants. e@ The book gives you no mere sampling of foundation grants. In many cases it includes all of the grants made by the foundation, as well as the names of all of the grantees. Generally, it lists about 65% of the grantees and about 80% of the monies granted. Even grants as low as $1,000 are included when they help provide a better understanding of a foundation’s pattern of giving. e The book provides a new dimension by telling you in many cases the purpose for which the grants were made. This information is exceedingly valuable in directing you to a large foundation’s precise interests. It is a wholly new feature that was not included in the 197172 edition. @ The book gives you remarkably current information... as current, in many cases, as if you had the foundation’s just published Annual Report in front of you. e And because foundations are more likely to make grants within their state than out of it, we have alphabetized the foundations according to state. You can tell, now, which organizations in your state and in your city are receiving grants from foundations. Now you don’t have to wonder whether a large foundation gives to institutions like yours, or whether you’re asking for too much or too little, or even whether you should try for a special project as opposed to a general purpose grant. All this information reveals itself when you see to whom a foundation is making its grants — and how much it is giving to these institutions. And why. Look At The Examples Just look at the two actual examples from the book on the following pages. Better than any words of ours they tell you why WHERE AMERICA’S LARGE FOUNDATIONS MAKE THEIR GRANTS will be so valuable to you. Here is the Frueauff Foundation in New York City making grants to colleges, hospitals and social service agencies in every part of the country. Certainly a foundation worth your consideration. But, look again! With the exception of just three grants, every one is $25,000 or below. Obviously, when you approach this foundation, you will be smart enough to do so not with your giant projects — but with your moderate cost ones. Because, obviously again, this is the kind of project that Frueauff prefers to fund. Now, for a wholly different picture, take a look at the report of 1973 grants from the huge Max C. Fleischmann Foundation of Nevada. It makes far more grants than Frueauff and usually for much larger amounts. It is also truly a national foundation, with as many grants outside the state of Nevada as in it. Hospitals and educational in- stitutions appear favored, but also a goodly number of social, civic, interracial and cultural organizations receive grants. Obviously, if yours is an agency of this kind, this is a foundation worth approaching. In the words of the Editor, Joseph Dermer, who is also President of his own New York City financial development and public relations firm: “This book developed out of my organization’s experience Over many years in raising funds from foundations. We found that the Foundation Directory, indispensable as it is as a reference, was not enough. Once we had determined, with the help of the Directory, that a foundation might be interested in giving to an organization we represented, we found that there still was a lot more information we required. Specifically, we needed a record of current giving by the foundation. And we had to know the purpose for which the grants were made.” And this is the kind of information this book gives you, not for one or two large foundations, but for more than 750. CHARL ES A.

Members of the CAA Board Frye Activities and This communication is in response to the subject letter which some of your fellow board members saw fit to sign due to their apparent ignorance of the facts. This was due to the lack of sufficient information being presented to them and not allowing them time to investigate the validity of what was made available to them. Why are the low-income board members always the ones to sign these types of letters? Why do not the public and private sectors members of the board ever sign these types of letters? If you will notice, there is one blank line at the bottom of the page. This leads me to believe that one of the low-income. board members questioned the validity of the letter. Thus, the "from" section on the letter is incorrect. It would seem that if any other low-income board member would have exercised the intelligence, that I know they possess, and asked for proof of the allegations presented to them by Mr. Massey, I don't believe, in good conscience, they would have signed this type of letter. I question the ethical and professional manner in which Mr. Massey addressed himself to this particular situation. Is this his typical "modus operandi"? If Mr. Massey would have inquired of me or my employer the nature of my employment, I or my employer would have been more than happy to respond either in public or private to him. I can not understand an individual in Mr. Massey's position making false statements to board members and requesting their signature on such a better... In attempting to answer the memorandum I find it very hard to address myself to what I would label as "garbage". The memorandum is typical of that produced by the so called "hard working Community Action Agency Executive Director." It is full of innuendos, typographical and grammatical errors and nonsensical allegations, which in my opinion, has become a trademark of the Community Action Agency Administration. You would think that at least one of the low-income board members, who signed the allegations, could have done so without the prompting of Community Action Agency staff. I wonder what they call or how they describe their infamous memorandum if it is not back-stabbing and an effort to debase and undermine my character. Are they not guilty of the "crime" which they accuse me? There 1. are a few points I would like to clear up: Richard A. Frye did not bring to the attention of the signators of the allegations that he would be employed in the alleged position as CAP Planner SRS THES this fall. | - 2- 2. Richard A. Frye did not bring to the attention of the signators of the allegations that he is now or ever has been employed by Commissioner Keith Jensen or the Weber County Commission. 3. In regard to comments concerning Richard A. Frye's previous position with the Ogden Redevelopment Agency, it is apparent that the Community Action Agency Executive Director has again manipulated those who signed the allegations by not providing them with sufficient information to make a reasonable valid assessment of the situation. 4, It is assumed that Mr. Massey, Mrs. Dean, Mrs. Sattiewhite, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Gurule, Mr. Flowers, Mrs. Graham and Mr. Piliero are judging my abilities and commitment subjectively since they have never seen nor _ reviewed my performance. By what sliding scale do they judge commitment? The ability of the signators to continually put themselves in a position to judge someone else's commitment toward low-income people and their ability to help low-income people amazes me! In some respects their unigue ability to always set themselves up as judge, jury and executioner is reminiscent of the vigilantes of the "old west." Are we to have "Lynch-Law" in this day and age? 5. As usual, the Community Action to play on the emotions of the to review all of the facts and concerned. It is obvious that on which 6. his failings.

Anyone that makes a choice between this trivia and active participation in policy--making has made a poor choice! I wish I could excuse the poor manners indicated by the signatureon s the letter without questioning the validity of the allegations and knowing that they would eee accountable actions. I question actively carry the out for the allegations. authprity of the clandestine However, Community activities adults Action against must Agency private be accountable Administration citizens. It seems for their to that Weber County has the only OEO0/CSA funded Central Intelligence Agency in the Country. It seems the only activity pursued and carried out by the CAA Administra tion during the past twelve months is that of conducting investigations and writing "garbage" on anyone who does not agree or questions the CAA Administration. The only "crime" that I have committed was that of legitimate concern the continuation of the Community Action Program, Head Start and C.E,T.A. My concern originates with my previous involvement in Community Action as for programs. a board member and past Chairman of the Board. I was CAA Chairman during the period when Community Action was being phased out nationally. It was also during the period of time when there was controversy over the Head Start program and concern over the over-involvement of the CAA Administration which was hampering the programs. Many trips were made to the Regional office in Denver on behalf of the CAA: to help restore the CAA to its former status prior to the attempted phase out; to negotiate with the Office of Child Development (along with a local Attorney and Mrs. Martha Graham) to return the Head Start program to the Ogden Community Action Agency. I have a knowledge of the Community Action guidelines and am aware of how the CAA, H.S. and C.E.T.A. programs should operate. basic I have made a personal assessment of the situation and have come conclusions of the problems of the Agency as it existed on July 1, 2.

Some board members take racial positions and not positions that will enhance the Community Action program. (This is done through the manipula tion of CAP staff and some board members in their creation of an infight on the CAP Board to take the Board's attention away from an issue whenever the Administration is being questioned.) It has always been my opinion that the purpose of the entire CAP philosophy was to assist in the elimination of poverty and to aid the poor to become self sufficient. I do not believe it has ever been the responsibility of any board member, no matter what sector he represents, to single out private citizens and attempt to undermine their character. It would seem they should be about the business of planning for the poor and not planning on how to undermine private citizens. ing | I would in mind: 1. highly Their recommend purpose is to that the signators of the allegations insure the viability of the CAA in Weber keep the County. follow ; yA 2.
