FDO - New look and features

The Foundation Directory Online has a new look!

Here is a little of what you can expect from the new version of the site:

Ranked results: When you use Power Search, results are now sorted by relevance so you don’t have to sift through pages of results. You can also choose which databases you want to search.

Guided search functionality: With the new and improved index filtering options, you can find the perfect search term as you type.

New ways to narrow your results lets you drill down to the right list of grantmakers with fewer searches.

Printer-friendly grantmaker profiles bring information from the database to your desk more easily.

The ability to e-mail lists of grantmakers and groups of grantmaker profiles gives you more options for taking the data out of the database in the way that works for you.

Visit the Central Library to access the Foundation Directory Online database. Questions? Contact Peg Elliott by email at reference@onlib.org or call 315-435-1900.
