grantmakers and how to apply for grants.
The Foundation Center’s core collection
includes The Foundation Center Online

Foundation Grants to Individuals Online,

guides. Cooperating Collections also hold
training session on how to effectively use
these resources and identify potential
funders. Many of these materials are also
available in Spanish.

“We are really lucky to
have this,” says Ben Felt, Executive

governmental sources. By CFCC establishing
this Cooperating Collection, all
