Grants &  Nonprofits:
Farmington Community Library's
Digital Resources

The Farmington Community Library, as a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center, makes freely available a wide array of digital resources on Grants and Nonprofits from the Foundation Center. The only restriction is that these resources can only be accessed from within the Main Library, a restriction put in place by the Foundation Center to prevent copyright violations.

There are two main groups of digital resources: the Foundation Center's Subscription Databases and the Digital Grant Guides (See below).

Digital Grant Guides

The Digital Grant Guides cover a wide range of grants awarded in 25 subject areas. Each Guide provides you with descriptions of hundreds—often thousands—of recent foundation grants of $10,000 or more, with convenient hyperlinks to essential funder information to help you identify prospects and get the grants you need. Along with detailed content, our new digital format offers eco-friendly convenience of on-screen viewing.

These Guides are available only at the Main Library. They are accessible using a special Grants Workstation. Stop at the Main Library Adult Information Desk to ask for the key to use the Workstation.
