Reach the foundations before their board decides.
Oxpium builds the list of foundations, finds who runs each one, tells you when one opens a grant cycle or changes leadership, and runs the campaign at the right time.

The foundations that matter to you, by cause and by state.
A family foundation run by two trustees and a community foundation with forty staff don't buy the same things or answer to the same person. Tell the agent the cause, the state, the kind of foundation: it searches public sources and professional databases, reads each website and hands you a clean list.

- Sorting by cause
58 foundations that fund early childhood education.
A cause
Education, health, the arts, housing, the environment: the agent reads each foundation's website and keeps the ones that fund your cause.
A kind of foundation
Family, independent, corporate or community foundation: the agent reads it on the website and puts it in its own column for each row.
How they give
Open applications, invitation only, or their own programs: a column tells you how each one gives, so you know who you can reach.
A size
Run by volunteer trustees or by a staff of forty: headcount comes from professional databases, so you target the right size of team.
The right person, and what each foundation funds.
At a staffed foundation, the executive director shapes what goes to the board. At a small family foundation, a trustee or the president does everything, often unpaid. The agent finds the right one, verifies every email, and reads the website to fill in the columns your message needs.

- Verifying emails
51 contact emails found and verified.
The website email
The agent reads each foundation's website, finds the contact email published there and verifies it before adding it to the list.
The executive director
Or the president when there's no staff: their name, verified email and cell when there is one, so your message reaches the person who decides.
Focus and giving style
What each foundation funds, where, and whether it takes open applications or invites grantees: sorted into their own columns.
The grant calendar
A column shows whether a call for proposals is open, on what theme and until when, so you write while the team is talking about it.
Automations that follow the foundations, and tell you when to write.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: a new role posted, a grant cycle opening, a new executive director. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

Hiring
Every morning, an automation flags the foundations hiring a program officer, a grants manager or a CFO, with the job title on the row.
New grant cycles
Every month, the agent rereads each foundation's website and flags the ones that open a new call for proposals, with the deadline.
New leadership
Every Friday, the agent rereads each team page and flags the foundations that announce a new executive director or board chair.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like a new focus area on the website: the agent reruns it on schedule and tells you what changed.
A campaign that follows the board's year.
Most foundations set next year's budget and payout in the fall, at their last board meeting, and spend December on year-end giving. September and October are when an executive director prepares what the board will see. Write then, stay away from the holidays, and the sequence stops on the first reply.
Subject foundation and next year's payout
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Before the fall board meeting
September and October, while the budget takes shape: emails go out Tuesday to Thursday between 9:30 am and noon, never in December.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser, at the hours a small team picks up. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized on the foundation's row.
A follow-up that read the site
An agent step rereads the latest annual report and the open call, then writes a follow-up that talks about what the foundation funds.
Stops on reply
As soon as an executive director or a trustee replies, the sequence stops for that foundation. You take it from there, nothing goes out twice.
Frequently asked questions
Write “foundations in Texas that fund K-12 education”. The agent searches public sources and professional databases, reads each website, keeps the ones that list that cause and hands you the list with the kind of foundation, staff size and website. It takes a few minutes.
Ask for “the executive director of each foundation, or the president if there's no staff, with email and cell phone”. When there's no team, the agent looks for the president or the trustee who handles the giving and verifies the email. When no one can be found, the contact email on the website takes over.
Tell the agent once: “every month, reread each foundation's website and flag new calls for proposals”. The foundations that open one land at the top of your list with the theme and the deadline, which you can use in your messages.
A first email about next year's budget, a call three days later, then a follow-up the agent writes from each foundation's annual report. Emails go out from your own mailbox Tuesday to Thursday between 9:30 am and noon, and the sequence stops as soon as a foundation replies.
For 300 foundations with their website read, 220 verified leader emails and about sixty cell phones, count around €40 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €800 to €1,500 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
No: that line is for grant seekers, not for vendors. But it tells you a lot about the team: an invitation-only foundation runs fewer, larger grants and needs different tools than one that reviews hundreds of open applications. The agent reads it on each website and puts it in its own column.
