Funding resources toolbox

Finding a funding source is made fairly easy with online resources. Here are two sources you should add to your bookmark list.
1. GuideStar – This is a member site for nonprofit organizations. GuideStar houses information about nonprofit organizations for public review. To quote the site, their “database is broad and deep.” You can even find funding tips and resources on this site.
2. Foundation Center – There are several tools available to you at the Foundation Center. They not only offer a database you can search online for funders, but they also after you literature to read to assist you with making proper choices when selecting your funder. There are classes you can take as well to ensure that you complete your paperwork effectively.
If you do an online search you’ll find books, websites, and other options for investigating funding sources. Your local library is another great resource to check out.
