The Santa Monica Public Library is an affiliate of the Foundation Center in New York . As an affiliate we provide a selection of materials for people who are interested in foundation funding and the grant process.
Professional librarians are available to assist clients in the use of the materials.
However, the Library is unable to perform research for clients or assist with grant writing. Online searching is not available. Most of the collection is restricted to in-library use. Additional copies of how-to manuals and prior editions of many of the foundation directories are available for circulation. The Library also provides electronic access to FCSearch database.
