Indispensable for grant writers

This guide contains over 8,300 grants directed at individual grant seekers. The entries provide addresses, contact information, as well as the types of support/grants that the organization offers. The book is cross indexed by name, geographic regions, company name, school, subject, and type of support. If you go to the Foundation Center's site you can also find online information to compliment the book.

Excellent resource

Both the graduate school office and the office of career counseling at my college have this book, and the staff guard it jealously--with good reason. It clearly describes each foundation and their guidelines for the type(s) of grants they make. In perusing this book, I didn't find a guide to writing a grant (probably because I was seeking foundation information), though other excellent books on how to do so exist elsewhere. If you want to cut to the chase, and save time and energy in targeting the right foundation(s) to meet your need, the hefty pricetag is worth your investment.

Comprehensive!

This book is thorough and comprehensive in scope. It tells you exactly what you need to know to apply for a grant from the many organizations it lists. A good measure of its worth is that it's in its 11th update.
