Find Grants on Candid’s Foundation Directory

Since 90% of U.S. foundations do not have websites, the insights you need to find funders will not be discovered via standard search engines. You need up-to-date, in-depth information to reach the funders who want to support your mission.
Use the Foundation Directory when you sign up for Drop-In Work Day at Co.act Detroit! Drop-in Work Day dates are:
