Foundation Center Resources

The Southern California Library is a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center. As a member of this nationwide network of libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit agencies, the Library provides visitors with free public access to grantmaker directories, books on fundraising and nonprofit management, and the Foundation Center's electronic database, The Foundation Directory Online. The fully searchable database includes detailed profiles of all active U.S. foundations, as well as an extensive file of recent grants awarded by the nation's top funders.

Please feel free to come to the Library during our regular hours (listed below) to use these resources. Computers, printers, and faxes close 10 minutes before the Library closes. You will be able to sign up for use of the computers for half-hour intervals, or longer if there is no queue. Please feel free to bring your own CD or USB key drive to save information. The Library can also provide CDs and printing capabilities for a nominal fee.

Wednesday-Friday: 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sunday-Tuesday: Closed

Join us for a training on how to use the databases, Friday, April 18, 9-11 a.m.
