The Foundation Center's FCSearch CD-ROM is available for use in the library. Otherwise just stop by. Your local library may have several of the basic tools to use in seeking for grants, or can try to borrow grant-seeking materials through Interlibrary Loan. In most cases the newest, and therefore most useful, materials will be available for use in libraries only. The State Library sponsors a Traveling Collection of Foundation Center Materials which rotates through public libraries in New Mexico.
Many libraries depend on grant monies to continue their operations.
This collection is to help provide local access for libraries and other non-profits to information about funding. Each location gets to keep the Travelling Collection for 2 months so that not only the libraries have access to the collection but also the community. The Calendar lists the libraries which will get the Traveling Collection in the next few months. The Albuquerque Community Foundation is the only other Foundation Center cooperating collection in New Mexico. The Foundation Center headquarters in New York city provides an ever growing webpage with foundation addresses, links to foundation websites, news and trends, tips on proposal writing, and links to non-profit resources.
