The Foundation Directory Online (FDO), the leading institutional funding research tool, helps connect grantseekers with grantmakers. Updated weekly, FDO includes reliably-sourced details on over 120,000 foundations, corporate donors, and public charities, and their 3 million recently awarded grants. FDO’s current, accurate, and comprehensive information is commonly used by fundraisers, administrators, professors, researchers, students, and librarians as their premier source for fundraising research.

The Foundation Grants to Individuals Online (GTIO) database has detailed information on nearly 10,000 foundations and public charities that fund students, artists, researchers, and other individual grantseekers. If you serve individuals in need of grants or scholarships, GTIO is the resource for you.
