The Foundation
Center (http://foundationncenter.org) is an independent national service
organization established by foundations to provide an authoritative source of
information on foundation and corporate giving. Primary reference
collections are located in New York, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Cleveland, and
San Francisco. These offer a wide variety of services and
comprehensive collections of information on foundations and grants.
Cooperating Collections are libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit agencies that provide a core collection of Foundation Center publications and a variety of supplementary materials and services in areas useful to grant seekers.
Anderson County Library is one of over 400 locations across the country, and one of five in South Carolina, that serves as a Cooperating Collection. As a member of this nationwide network of libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit agencies, the Anderson County Library provides visitors with free public access to grantmaker directories, books on fundraising and nonprofit management, and the Foundation Center’s electronic database, Foundation Center 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. Foundation Center Online contains records for more than 96,000 active foundation grantmakers, including names of trustees, officers, and donors.
Foundation Grants to Individuals Online is a database of more than 6,000 foundations and public charity programs which provide educational support and fund students, artists, and researchers.
All materials are available for use in the library. The Foundation Center Cooperating Collection is located in the Main Library’s Reference Department
