As federal and state funding sources become increasingly more competitive, other sources of funding for research, education and clinical programs need to be considered. In 1989, over $81 million was given by private sources in support of programs that directly benefited the elderly. This article examines methods for seeking private funding and provides a list of foundations with either specific or possible interest in geriatrics and mental health. We also offer specific suggestions for enhancing the chances of obtaining funding from these foundations.
