For those of you not familiar with the UW- Grants Information Collection, I have just discovered this fabulous resource!

 

It is one of the Foundation Centers (New York) Cooperating Collections. That means you can access their database of 80,000 foundations in a huge variety of search formats, right here in Madison. I just attended an introductory session called “Grants for Organizations” about how to use their database (FCSearch) and other materials. I hope to generate a list of possible CFGN funders! (You don’t have to be a student to use the grant collection.)

 

Take a look at their website or visit the library:
