Funding the Foundation Center

Where should I refer people looking for grants to individuals?

Most foundation funding is awarded to nonprofit organizations, not to individual grantseekers. However, the Foundation Center has gathered resources for individual grantseekers at our web site. We offer Foundation Grants to Individuals Online, a directory of grantmakers that fund individual grantseekers. A print version of Foundation Grants to Individuals can be purchased online or accessed free of charge at the Center's libraries in Atlanta, Cleveland, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, and at our Cooperating Collections.
