Overview of Our Web Site
The Center's Web site gives visitors around-the-clock access to objective and incisive coverage of the news of philanthropy, current data on grantmakers and their giving, and how-to resources on grantseeking and the use of Center resources. It enables us to provide education in grantseeking and authoritative information on philanthropy to a variety of audiences, unlimited by geography.
The Foundation Center's mission is to strengthen the nonprofit sector by advancing knowledge about U.S. philanthropy.
To achieve our mission, we:
- Collect, organize, and communicate information on U.S. philanthropy.
- Conduct and facilitate research on trends in the field.
- Provide education and training on the grantseeking process.
- Ensure public access to information and services through our Web site, print and electronic publications, five library/learning centers, and a national network of Cooperating Collections.
Founded in 1956, the Center is the nation's leading authority on philanthropy and is dedicated to serving grantseekers, grantmakers, researchers, policymakers, the media, and the general public.
