The only publication devoted exclusively to foundation funding opportunities for individual grantseekers, Foundation Grants to Individuals is an essential volume that no funding resource library or individual grantseeker should be without. The new 10th Edition is the largest ever published, with 800 more entries than the previous edition The volume now features over 3,200 entries packed with the current information that individual grantseekers need most: addresses, contact names, financial data, application information, program descriptions, and more.Each section includes foundations that award millions of dollars each year to individuals: educational support (scholarships and student loans); general welfare; arts and cultural support; awards, prizes, and grants by nomination; international applicants; company employees (education and general welfare); students and graduates of specific schools; and a new section for research and professional support.Six indexes help users target prospective grants by subject area, types of support (such as scholarships, loans, or travel grants), geographic area, sponsoring company (for employee restricted awards), educational institution (for grants limited to specific schools), and grantmaker name. A revised annotated bibliography refers grantseekers to additional resources on funding opportunities for individuals in many subject categories.
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
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
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.
