Book Description

The 4th Edition of this volume provides essential facts on over 2,300 foundations and corporate direct giving programs, each with a history of awarding grant dollars to projects and institutions related to elementary and secondary education. You will cut hours off your fundraising research time by having, in a single convenient volume, a list of grantmakers already interested in your subject field! The National Guide is designed to help you get the facts you need to bolster your target list of funding prospects. Each entry provides crucial data -- address, financial data, giving priorities statement, application procedures, contact names, and key officials. Many entries also include descriptions of recently awarded grants, often the best indication of a grantmaker's particular funding interests. The volume includes over 6,300 sample grants! Indexes help you target potential funders by subject and geographic areas preferred, types of grants generally awarded, and the names of key personnel. The grantmakers included in the 4th Edition have supported a wide range of organizations, from the smallest schools to major, nationwide research initiatives, as well as bilingual programs, cooperative/community education, drop-out prevention, education testing, gifted programs, remedial reading/math initiatives, and vocational/trade schools.
