Foundation Directory Online provides nine comprehensive databases. In addition to grantmakers, companies, grants, and 990s, the new Power Search tool lets you search RFPs, news, jobs, foundation-sponsored publications, and nonprofit literature. The interactive maps and charts show a foundation’s grants geographically—right down to the ZIP code—and by recipient type or primary subject with three levels of detail.

Our librarians can assist you in person at the Information Desk, by phone, or email.
