The Nonprofit Resource Center is a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center. As a member of this nationwide network of libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit agencies, we provide visitors with free public access to grant maker directories and books on fundraising and nonprofit management published by the Foundation Center, as well as the Foundation Center’s electronic databases, The Foundation Directory Online and Foundation Grants to Individuals Online. The fully searchable databases include detailed profiles of all active U.S. foundations, as well as an extensive file of recent grants awarded by the nation’s top funders. Training in the use of the Foundation Center online resources is offered quarterly. See our events page for information about the next training.
