Hi Jessica,

When I was at Genesee District Library, we subscribed and I taught a few classes on using Foundation Directory that ended up being fairly popular. This was shortly before Covid, and things fizzled out.

It's a great resource for anyone looking for potential grant opportunities, but I think people often want to use it to find grants to apply to. In reality, Foundation Directory is really more about finding foundations that people can approach for money, not for already outlined grant opportunities.

Great resource, if a bit of a learning curve. I think it really shines for libraries when accompanied by classes/other resources to help patrons understand how to use it.

I am happy to try and answer any questions you might have!
