Governing and HRVH member organizations can access the Candid Foundation Directory, an online database that connects nonprofits with funding opportunities. Recognizing that nonprofit cultural organizations are facing fiscal uncertainty and potentially losing access to longstanding federal grant programs, the Empire State Library Network has negotiated remote access to the Foundation Directory. This best-in-class research tool helps nonprofits identify and connect with over 240,000 U.S. grant makers. Each dues-paying member of Southeastern is eligible for a user login.
While some public libraries offer public access to this resource, for your convenience, this partnership will provide direct access to the Foundation Directory for Southeastern members’ staff.
Please remember that the access provided by Southeastern is licensed for our members’ staff use and is not intended for library users or the general public.
Registering for access to the Candid Foundation Directory is ongoing, and you can do that here: https://access.esln.org/
If you already have an account and are ready to jump in and use The Foundation Directory, here is the link: https://access.esln.org/
