New Grant Research Database Introduced

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

As a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center, Lamson Library now has access to Foundation Grants to Individuals Online (FGTIO).

The database includes information for more than 6,000 foundations that will give grants to individuals — such as grants for graduate education. Most of the 80,000 foundations in the U.S. will NOT give to individuals, only to nonprofit organizations.

Lamson Library has a broad collection of both print and electronic grant research information available.

Lamson Library celebrates his work and life with a display of books from our collection. The National Gallery is hosting an exhibition, ongoing until May 9.
