Selected Grants , lists grants that were reported in the year indicated. Note that all of the grants reported are several years old. This is due to the time lag required to compile and publish all of this information. Even though the grants were funded several years earlier, they can still give you valuable information on the types of projects the foundation supports, and the dollar amounts it typically grants. Publications , informs you of the latest grants that a foundation has funded.
Many foundations publish an annual report that lists the grants given in the previous year.
Call the foundation and ask for it. The Annual Report will tell you whether the foundation has continued to fund the fields indicated in the directory, or whether it has changed its focus, and you need to look elsewhere. The annual report can also give you a lot of valuable information about the goals of the foundation, which can help you not only decide if your project fits its guidelines, but may help you tailor a proposal to more accurately fit that funder. This form will list all the grants funded in the previous year also. You need to look at the grants funded the previous year in order to be sure that your project fits into the foundation's current funding areas.
