Through a collaboration between the University Libraries, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, and Advancement, the CU-Boulder campus now has access to Foundation Directory Online, a tool beneficial to those seeking grant funding, company information and job opportunities.
The data in Foundation Directory Online, which is updated weekly, is compiled from IRS information returns, grantmaker websites, annual reports, printed application guidelines, the philanthropic press and various other sources. It includes more than 140,000 foundations, corporate giving programs and grantmaking public charities in the U.S.; a database of more than 4,000 sponsoring companies, offering a quick pathway to corporate funders; a database of more than 3.8 million recently awarded grants; and a keyword-searchable database of more than one million recently filed IRS Forms 990 and 990-PF.
You can access the Foundation Directory Online tool on campus or using VPN.
A free webinar on how to use the tool effectively will be offered on Wednesday, April 13th, at noon in Norlin Library, room N410. Feel free to bring your lunch, light refreshments will be served. If you are unable to attend, you can access the recorded version after April 18th.
