Foundation Directory Online is a grantseeking database on the web, developed by the Foundation Center, a national nonprofit service organization founded just over 50 years ago to open up U.S. foundations to public view. Over the past half-century we have evolved from one small library into philanthropy's information hub. For more information, send an e-mail to grantadmin@wcl.american.edu.
