These sites can provide valuable information for prospect research:

  • The Foundation Center: If you walk into their office, you can access their database for free. They have an office in downtown San Francisco.
  • Guidestar: This site allows you to search non profits and foundations alike to learn who is funding who.
  • Grants Alert: This site provides weekly grant alerts and seems to have good information on funding for schools.
  • Grant Gopher: This site also provides weekly grant alerts, often in the arts, humanities, and cultural focus areas.
  • Grants.gov: This site lists every government grant as their deadlines come up. Tricky to navigate but required for many federal grant submissions.
