Foundation Directory Online - Central Library, 6th floor only

Are you seeking grant funding for your nonprofit organization? The Foundation Directory Online contains:

  • 1,911 grant-making foundations with an interest in funding Dallas-Fort Worth area nonprofits;
  • 74 corporate giving programs based in Dallas;
  • Details on 22,313 grants recently made to organizations in our area;

This database is only available on the 6th floor of the Central Library. No remote authentication is possible. Note that we provide access to the "professional level" version of the database. It is national in scope and contains detailed information about more than 100,000 U.S. foundations and corporate donors, over 2.2 million recent grants, and over half a million key decision makers.

Staff from the Library’s Grants Information Service will show you how to do an effective search including how to narrow your search by subject areas (education, children/youth) or by types of support (capital campaigns, operations budget, building renovation).

Individual records may be emailed. To save a set of records, it is helpful to bring with you a USB flash drive.
