A helpful but more costly funding research tool is the Foundation Center's "Guide for Funding International and Foreign Programs" available for purchase at their website. Also available from the Foundation Center is The Guide to Proposal Writing, and its Spanish translation, Guía para escribir propuestas.

Helpful Tips to Grantseekers
- Few foundations will respond to grant requests made by e-mail.
- Before seeking a foundation grant, first, look over the foundation's website, grantmaking guidelines, and other related materials to see if there is a fit between the foundation's grantmaking priorities and your programs.
- If there is a good match, then follow the proposal submission instructions outlined by the foundation in their grantmaking guidelines.
- Typically, you will first submit a "letter of inquiry," which is a short document describing the nature of your work and the purpose of the grant request.
For Individual Grantseekers
- Foundation Grants to Individuals
Online has detailed descriptions of thousands of foundation and public charity programs that fund students, artists, researchers, and other individual grantseekers. There is a small fee for a one-month subscription.
We regret we cannot offer you direct assistance but wish you great success in your work.
