What is the Cooperating Collection? The Grant Resource Center at Licking County Library is a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center. The Foundation Center's mission is to gather, analyze, and disseminate information about philanthropy to organizations and individuals looking for grants.
As a member of this national network of libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit organizations, the library provides visitors with free public access to grantmaker directories, books on fundraising and nonprofit management, plus access to the Foundation Center's electronic databases: The Foundation Directory Online Professional, Foundation Grants to Individuals, and Philanthropy In/Sight. These databases contain information on over 92,000 grantmakers across the United States.
