The Foundation Directory Online: Platinum

[Suzanne Lorimer <suzanne.lorimer@YALE.EDU>]

I'm pleased to announce that through the cooperation of many of the
library's selectors and the university's Office of Development -- and
through Kim Parker's unrelentling determination -- the Foundation
Directory Online: Platinum is now available to the Yale
community.

The Foundation Directory Online Platinum is the Foundation
Center's most comprehensive online service, comprising two searchable
databases. The foundation database, available in print as The
Foundation Directory, houses a collection of data on the entire
universe of over 76,000 foundations, corporate giving programs, and grant
making public charities in the U.S. The grants database, available in
print as Foundation Grants Index, is a collection of more than
350,000 grants that have been awarded by foundations in the United
States. Both databases are searchable and are designed to give
researchers access to information on each foundation's funding interests
and giving history.  
Information on grants to individuals is limited, but the Center suggests
alternate sources for this information
