The Borina Nonprofit Resource Center 

Our Borina Nonprofit Resource Center is home to Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center, providing resources for nonprofits and grantseekers.
      
We are a member of a nationwide network of libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit agencies.      

What is Available?

If you're part of an nonprofit organization or an individual grantseeker we can help you.

Our resource center provides you with free public access to the Foundation Center's core collection, plus our own library of  over 800 titles.
 
This includes grant directories, books, periodicals and videos on fundraising, board development, executive leadership, marketing and communications and nonprofit management.

You'll have free access to the Foundation Center's electronic databases, The Foundation Directory Online Professional, on six computer terminals. This fully searchable database includes detailed profiles of all active U.S. foundations, as well as an extensive file of recent grants awarded by the nation's top funders.

We also have Foundation Grants to Individuals Online, where you can research more than 6,200 foundation and public charity programs that fund artists, students, researchers, and other individual grantseekers.

The Foundation Directory Online and Foundation Grants to Individuals Online are available to visitors on a walk-in basis.
