The Red Bank Public Library is gearing up to become the area's go-to nonprofit funding expert as a member of Candid's Funding Information Network. Membership to this nationwide network allows the Library to provide free access to Foundation Directory Online Essentials, Foundation Grants to Individuals, Candid Learning, and other resources to strengthen local nonprofit organizations when searching for funding opportunities.
Representatives of nonprofit and grassroots organizations and other patrons are welcome to use Foundation Directory Online Essentials remotely through the Library's Research Databases Page through the end of 2020.
Foundation Directory Online provides the most comprehensive and accurate information on U.S. grantmakers and their funding activities. FDO Essential is the quickest, least expensive way to identify organizations that fund nonprofits.
Foundation Grants to Individuals Online is a database of 10,000 grantmakers providing scholarships, fellowships, grants, and a wide range of financial support.
Candid Learning provides easy-to-use, self-service tools, and resources specifically designed to meet the needs of nonprofits worldwide.
The Library's membership in the network supports the work of the Greater Red Bank nonprofit sector and helps to ensure local nonprofits' sustainability. As a Candid partner, Library staff will be certified on using the resources, guaranteeing the nonprofit sector's needs are met. The partnership also allows the Library to host webinars and classes centered around fundraising and grant writing. More information on these resources is available at our Research Databases page.
