Grantmakers

Charities and Community Foundations That Give Grants in Arkansas

These 24 organizations are not private foundations. They are charities based in Arkansas that give grants to other nonprofits and report them on Form 990 Schedule I -- community foundations, United Ways and federated funds, hospital and university foundations, and operating charities that regrant. Each gave to at least 20 organizations we could identify and filed a return covering 2023 or later.

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

Schedule I only reports grants over $5,000. Form 990 requires a charity to list recipients it paid more than that and lets it omit the rest, so every grant-size figure on this page describes the grants it reported, not all of them. Its real median is lower and its real recipient count is higher. This is also why these numbers cannot be compared with the private-foundation figures elsewhere on this site -- Form 990-PF has no reporting floor, so the two are different populations rather than two samples of one.
