Find Grant Money for Your Library and Community: Using Foundation Directory Copy

Apr 27, 2023, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM

So often we hear about the benefits of grant funding, but it can be challenging to find the right funder for a specific project. Did you know you have access to a resource in your library to connect you AND others in your community to potential funders? Thanks to the State Library’s subscription, you and other grantseekers can access the Foundation Directory (FD) from Candid.

In this webinar presented by Douglas Moore of FD, you’ll learn how to search the interface for grants for your library and how to teach your patrons as well. The first half of this webinar will be a demonstration of how to search and use the information in FD, the second half will be open for your questions.

Note that a library’s IP address must be registered with FD and you must be in your library to access. To confirm your IP is registered and you are able to access FD from your library, contact Toni.Blair@Iowa.Gov.
