Foundation Center Books and Database
Sonoma County Library is a cooperating collection with the Foundation Center. As a member of this nationwide network of libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit agencies, Sonoma County Library provides visitors with free public access to grantmaker directories, books on fundraising and nonprofit management, and the Foundation Center's electronic databases:
- The Foundation Directory Online - The fully searchable database includes detailed profiles of all active U.S. foundations, as well as an extensive file of recent grants awarded by the nation's top funders.
- Foundation Grants to Individuals Online
These databases are available from a dedicated computer at the Central Santa Rosa Library.
Books on fundraising and directories of grants are available at several of the branches. Ask your librarian for assistance in finding them.
You can always ask a librarian at the Central Library reference desk for help with our Foundation Center subscription, and other grantseeking & fundraising resources.
