About the Nonprofit Resource Center

Sign up for our Find It, Fund It monthly newsletter announcing new books and upcoming events at the Nonprofit Resource Center.

The Fayetteville Public Library's Nonprofit Resource Center helps individuals and nonprofit organizations identify potential grant funding sources.

The center, located on the second floor of Blair Library, has access to the Foundation Directory Online, a treasure trove of information on 80,000 foundations and almost 500,000 recently awarded grants. While most private funding goes to nonprofit organizations, the center also offers online access to Grants for Individuals, a database of more than 6,200 grantmaker programs that award money directly to individuals.

The library is proud to make print and electronic resources available to Northwest Arkansas as part of a Foundation Center Cooperating Collection venture.

Fayetteville Public Library cardholders have access to all materials and databases housed at the library. The library offers free cards to staff and board members of nonprofit organizations in Washington, Benton, Carroll, and Madison counties.

The Center maintains the most comprehensive database on U.S. grantmakers and their grants—a robust, accessible knowledge bank for the sector. It also operates research, education, and training programs designed to advance philanthropy at every level. The Center's web site receives more than 47,000 visits each day, and thousands of people gain access to free resources in its five regional library/learning centers and its national network of more than 340 Cooperating Collections."
