Foundation Center

Effective allocation of philanthropic resources, informed public discourse about philanthropy, and broad understanding of the contributions of nonprofit activity to civil society. The Foundation Center is the nation's leading authority on philanthropy, connecting nonprofits and the grant-makers supporting them to tools they can use and information they can trust. The Center maintains the most comprehensive database on U.S. grant-makers 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.
