gives limited results. Use your time efficiently and learn strategies for finding potential
funders using the Foundation Directory Online. The Foundation Center has compiled
comprehensive information on over 92,000 foundations and corporate giving programs as
well as 1.3 million grants.
The database is available to use at cooperating collections of the Founation Center

ResourceConnect http://www.new.org/resourceconnect, a program of NEW (Nonprofit
Enterprise at Work) subscribes to the Foundation Direcotry Online and is please to share it
with the nonprofit community. Make an appointment with Ann Gladwin agladwin@new.org to
