The library offers a variety of resources to assist with starting and managing a nonprofit organization. As a Candid Community Partner, we offer a premier prospect research tool for grant-seekers, Foundation Directory Online (FDO). FDO combines comprehensive data with simple search tools help you efficiently meet fundraising goals. Also accessible in the library is the Foundation Grants to Individuals database which provides details on funders for scholarships, fellowships, and grants. Full access to Foundation Directory Online and Foundation Grants to Individuals is available to users inside the library. Select nonprofits can apply to Candid's "Go for the Gold" program for one-year remote access to a separate "FDO Essentials" product.
