Foundation Center Cooperating Collection


	When your nonprofit needs funding, a grant from a foundation or corporate giver may be the answer. We can help you identify potential donors using the Foundation Directory Online, a database provided through a partnership with the Foundation Center. Foundation Directory Online is available only at Lawson McGhee Library, and a Reference Librarian is available by appointment to help you learn how to use it. Call the Business Reference Desk at 215-8722 for more information.
