Due to license restrictions, this research tool is available only to patrons when visiting a CALS location.

If you are in the library, look for the CALS Resource icon on the computer desktop.

As an affiliate of Candid.org in New York, CALS provides access to a powerful database of hundreds of thousands of grantmakers and grant recipients. Find the information your nonprofit organization needs to make an impact. Candid data is compiled from IRS forms 990 and 990-PF, grantmaker web sites, the philanthropic press and other sources. Candid’s staff continually monitors and verifies details in the Foundation Directory database.

NOTE: foundations generally give to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status. If you don’t have this status, consider finding a local nonprofit who is willing to act as your Fiscal Sponsor. Learn more here https://help.candid.org/s/ .
