My mom is the founder of a non-profit organization. We have tried to find people who give out grants and havent had much luck.
Does anyone know of any companies that give them out?
Your best bet is to seek for private grants or grants from private foundations.
The best resource for this is Foundation Center http://www.fdncenter.org . They have a very good database covering all organizations giving grants and you can find foundations that are interested in supporting your type of cause. However, it’s a subscription based website ($19.95 per month I think is the cheapest subscription price). But it certainly is worth the fee. You can subscribe one month, and make sure you get all the info you need and then stop the subscription.
If you want to try federal sources, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants.
CFDA has several ways to search for grants. I suggest you search by beneficiary and select Private Non Profit Organization and you can find listings of grants available http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show
Big corporations mostly have corporate giving programs. They give to 501c3 organizations and are very specific in terms of the causes they support:
Dell Foundation http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/corp/foundation/en/index?c=us&l=en&s=corp
Recipients are 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and objective is to address the health and human services, the education, and the technology access for youth. Specifically says that they do NOT provide grants for individuals
Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/citizenship/giving/
Provides support to Community-Based Technology and Learning Center (CTLC) organizations including Nonprofit—in the United States, 501(c)(3) designation—or a nongovernmental organization; Government funded and operated—a nonprofit organization that receives government funding or is a partner with a governmental; and schools. Specifically says that they do NOT give to individuals
Philip Morris http://www.philipmorrisusa.com/en/our_initiatives/community_involvement.asp
Provides financial and in-kind contributions to local organizations, and through sponsorship of community events. Again, applicants must be non-profit, charitable organizations tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Individuals are again NOT eligible.

There are several sites on the web for just that- including big ones like the ford foundation etc. I think you can even get books in the book store….

Also search the websites of major companies like Microsoft, Barnes and Noble, Wal-Mart, etc.

There are plenty of websites were you can research grantors. The best one I know of is Grantstation.com. You need to be a member to use the search function, but if you’re a founder of a non-profit then it’s probably worth it seeing as how you’re always going to need more funding.
