Annual Register of Grant Support 2010

Annual Register of Grant Support 2010
A Directory of Funding Sources, 43rd Edition
Just added to the Nonprofit Resource Center reference collection – an exhaustive guide to more than 3,100 grant-giving organizations offering nonrepayable support. 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.
