Annual Register of Grant Support 2010
A Directory of Funding Sources, 43rd Edition

Organized by 11 major subject areas—with 61 specific subcategories this is the definitive resource for researching and uncovering a full range of available grant sources. Not only does it direct you to traditional corporate, private, and public funding programs, it also shows you the way to little known, nontraditional grant sources such as educational associations and unions.
For each grant program, you’ll find information on eligibility requirements and restrictions, application procedures and deadlines, grant size or range, contact information, and much more.
The current volume is for in-library use only. The previous year’s edition of the Annual Register of Grant Support can be checked out.

Inside access to a new Chronicle study on nonprofit employment trends from more than 1,000 respondents from organizations nationwide.

* New information from a major compensation consultant on exactly how nonprofit employers are adjusting pay to reflect current economic realities
* Advice on recruiting in a "buyer’s market" and keeping staff morale high in tough times.

Expert guests include Susan Egmont, founder and principal of the executive-search firm Egmont Associates, and Chris Thompson, the Chronicle of Philanthropy's director of editorial research.
