Dear Carol, there are four libraries in Wisconsin which are "cooperating
collections" of the Foundation Center (which itself if located in New
York City).
Each of the four Wisconsin cooperating collections have access to the
Foundation Directory, a very large database containing info about the
giving interests of hundreds of thousands of foundations in the United
States. Librarians at the four Wisconsin libraries will be able to
assist you with the database.

one will be convenient for you to use:

“Joy from Truth’s own glass of fire Sweetly on the Searcher smiles; Lest on Virtue’s steeps she tire, Joy the tedious path beguiles.”
[from “Hymn to Joy” by Friedrich Schiller, 1759-1805]
