Communicate Your Work
Connecting with like-minded people who share your
passions is key to achieving your goals. So we make
it easy to describe your programs, post grants, and
demonstrate transparency via searchable databases
and web sites.
Our interviews, commentary, and social media help you
spread the word, while mapping tools and custom online portals allow
you to share your story and your successes.

Since 1956, the Foundation Center has been the go-to source
people turn to when looking for information about grantmakers and
their grants. Our Foundation Directory Online is the most widely
used searchable database of its kind. The information contained in
it feeds our web sites, research studies, and reference tools.
So make sure the thousands who use these resources every day
are accessing the most complete, current, and accurate information
about your foundation. You can easily provide updates with:
-
Foundation Center Updater: Keep your foundation's profile
up-to-date via our convenient online tool anytime — it includes
key info like contact, financial, and program information.

Nothing strengthens credibility, increases public trust, or improves
relationships like fostering an environment of transparency.
That's why we created our Glasspockets web portal — so you can
assess and improve on your level of transparency. Specifically:
-
Use our "Who Has Glass Pockets?" checklist: It's an effective
way to benchmark transparency and accountability practices,
compare policies with those of your peers, and submit your
profile for sharing online.
-
Keep up with our "Transparency Talk" blog: It's filled with
insights and best practices from other foundations and experts
in the field.
-
Link directly from our "Transparency Heat Map": See real-life
examples of what foundations are sharing online.

FOUNDATION FOLDERS — FREE WEB SITES FOR FOUNDATIONS
Back in 1996, we recognized the importance of a strong web
presence. So we began offering free sites, which we call Foundation
Folders; a service we continue to offer today. Grantmakers who use
it find they receive a higher caliber of proposals and fulfill fewer
information requests by mail, which saves them a good deal of effort
and expense. Unique advantages of a Foundation Folder include:
- Substantial savings in time and budget dollars.
- An easy way to share the impact of your work.
- Free maintenance and technical support.
- Unparalleled personal service.
- The expertise and experience of Foundation Center
web developers.
We also offer a premium level of web site development and hosting
for a nominal fee. It includes your own domain name, site usage
reports, and a password-protected area.
