As a Funding Information Network (FIN) partner, GCPL is pleased to offer our patrons access to two world-class databases, Foundation Directory Online and Grants to Individuals. Foundation Directory Online offers access to grants and other funding opportunities for our nonprofit and small business community. Grants to Individuals is a database that offers the smartest, fastest way to find scholarships, fellowships and awards for students, artists, researchers, and individuals. Both of these databases are accessible inside our Bainbridge Branch only, during all regular hours of operation.
“After much research and consideration we decided to join the Funding Information Network as a way to address what we feel is an important need for community non-profits and individuals to have access to support in attaining their goals. We are excited to be able to engage, connect, and inspire with the community in this way,” says GCPL Director Ed Worso.
To learn more, come to the Intro to Funding Information Network databases program at Bainbridge on Monday, September 23rd from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Register here.
There will be one-on-one clinics in October, November, and December. Be sure to register for a 30 minute appointment. You can access all FIN one-on-one clinics here are at www.geaugalibrary.net
