Grants Office Resources

Funding Searches
1. Grants Advisor Plus – Governmental and some foundations/corporate sponsors
2. Foundation Center Online: In the office – 60,000 foundations/corporate sponsors
3. Associates Program: We look; can’t find; email/phone call and ask. Twenty-four hour service
4. Grants Office Database: Will email opportunities – filtered out unrealistic sponsors and narrowed down the most likely opportunities. Email will be sent twice a year.
5. My mantra: “The problem isn’t finding a funder. It’s finding enough folks who want to write a grant.”
