To conduct an efficient foundation search of the ORD database, select Foundation as the source and type in the full name of the state in which you will be conducting the research.
Regional foundations are more likely to contribute funds in local areas of operation.
These areas are listed in the eligibility section of the template . Since Glimpse is a general text search engine, it will pick out the state, regardless of its location in the template. The contact address lists the state as an abbreviation, so the complete spelling is found only in the eligibility section. Private and corporate foundations provide funding based on the foundation's mission statement, and they usually have several fields of interest. Since the fields of interest are broad, such as arts, community projects, or medical research, a database search using specific keywords would not be very effective.
