Find the private foundations that have given to recipients in a cause area, optionally limited to one state. The cause area is the IRS NTEE major group recorded for the RECIPIENT organization, so this reports where a funder has actually given rather than what it says it funds. Historical filing evidence, not an open call. Valid causes: Arts and culture (A), Education (B), Environment (C), Animals (D), Health care (E), Mental health and crisis (F), Disease and disorders (G), Medical research (H), Crime and legal aid (I), Employment (J), Food and agriculture (K), Housing and shelter (L), Public safety and disaster relief (M), Recreation and sports (N), Youth development (O), Human services (P), International affairs (Q), Civil rights and advocacy (R), Community improvement (S), Philanthropy and grantmaking (T), Science and technology (U), Social science (V), Public and societal benefit (W), Religion (X), Mutual benefit (Y), Unclassified (Z). Does not count toward your monthly searches.
