Foundation Grants to Individuals

Focuses on foundations that provide financial support for individual grantseekers. Describes giving for a variety of purposes, including scholarships, student loans, fellowships, program development, internships, professorships, arts and cultural projects, research, awards/grants by nomination only and general welfare. It is intended to be both a grantseeker's guide and a reference tool. 

Library staff will show you how to do an effective search including how to narrow your search by subject areas (education, children/youth) or by types of support (capital campaigns, operations budget, building renovation). 

Individual records may be emailed. To save a set of records, it is helpful to bring with you a USB flash drive.
