As we note in our popular training video<\/a>, one of the most frequent questions we receive in the grants office is “Where do we find the grants!?”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Foundation Center<\/strong> is one of those places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The website ( http:\/\/foundationcenter.org\/<\/a> ) offers a comprehensive database of grant opportunities, along with profiles of all active U.S. foundations and recent grants awarded by the nation’s top funders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re interested in finding funding for a specific program or idea, this is a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Foundation Center requires a $$$ subscription, which the Roanoke Main Library provides free of charge to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If, like me, you’re curious about how to make the most of this service, please join me on a field trip on Thursday, Dec. 13<\/strong>, when the library’s Virginia Room hosts a hands-on class about Foundation Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The class begins at 2 p.m., but I will be leaving Virginia Western at 1:30 p.m. If you would like to carpool, please let me know: sseagle@virginiawestern.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And please don’t forget to register for the workshop by email at main.library@roanokeva.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
