Pioneer Memorial Library is a cooperating collection site for

 the Foundation Center. The Foundation Center's mission is

 to strengthen the nonprofit sector by advancing knowledge

 about U.S. philanthropy. The Foundations connects nonprofits

 to grantmakers by making tools and information about grants

 that may be sought. The Foundation maintains the most

 comprehensive database on U.S. grantmakers and their grants.  The Foundation

 provides two databases:  

• The Foundation Director Online Professional – for non profits organizations
• The Foundation Grants to Individuals Online – for individuals who might be seeking grants for educational, research and other reasons.

Due to access agreements with the Foundation Center, in order to use this very valuable database, you must be located within the physical walls of the Pioneer Memorial Library. Call ahead @ 785-460-4470 or e-mail us @

 colbykslibrary@yahoo.com to reserve computer use for a day of searching,

or bring your own laptop for such work.

 We have a collection of hard copy books from the Foundation Center as well as an

 online database version of the Foundation Center Collection.
