Source & coverage. Foundation list: IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File ↗ (file dated Oct 13, 2026). We include active 501(c)(3) public charities the IRS codes as community foundations (NTEE T31) with at least $1 million in assets, and drop names that are clearly faith-based funds, schools, colleges, hospitals or health funds, service clubs or national donor-advised-fund sponsors. That filter can miss a foundation or include one that works a little differently, and local affiliates that file under a larger foundation don’t appear separately, so a small count doesn’t mean your area has no community foundation. Assets are the IRS figure from each group’s latest filing. Scholarship pages were checked Oct 17, 2026 for the largest foundation in each state only. Not affiliated with the IRS or any foundation listed. For the full national directory, see the Council on Foundations locator ↗.
