FUNDING INFORMATION NETWORK

As a member of Candid.org’s nationwide network of libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit agencies, the Hartford Public Library provides visitors with free public access to Candid’s electronic databases and resources.  At our location, you can access the database Foundation Directory Online, Grants to Individuals and other resources to assist and strengthen your nonprofit organization.

Representatives of nonprofit and grassroots organizations and other patrons are welcome to use the databases at the Hartford Public Library at any time during our open hours.

Foundation Directory Online (FDO) is a fundraising database that gives grantseekers unprecedented access to the largest amount of clean and coded philanthropic data that currently exists. By combining exhaustive data with intuitive search functionality and informative data visualizations, FDO makes fundraising quick and efficient.

This database can only be accessed at the Library on a Library computer.
