The Foundation Center is America's philanthropic library system. More than likely, you will not run across anyone who knows more about connecting the people who need grant money with those that have it than them. For that reason, it would be good to develop some kind of relationship with them - whether you happen to be personally associated with a nonprofit organization or not.
While The Foundation Center is headquartered in New York City, it does have branch offices across the nation in major cities - such as Atlanta, Chicago and San Francisco. It also has what it calls "cooperating collections" across the US and into Mexico.
If you want to learn the basics of grant-seeking, how to write grant letters - including putting together a grant budget proposal - The Foundation Center is well-qualified to teach you. The library system has been in existence for 53 years.
If you happen to live in Lake County, CA or know someone who does and needs grant-funding assistance, there is going to be a FREE grant-writing seminar, conducting by Scott Ullman of The Foundation Center of San Francisco on Wednesday, April 15th, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Hidden Valley Community Church, 18160 Spruce Grove Rd. Ext. in Hidden Valley Lake. All that is required to attend is to RSVP.
