The Center maintains the most comprehensive database on U.S. grantmakers and their grants; issues a wide variety of print, electronic, and online information resources; conducts and publishes research on trends in foundation growth, giving, and practice; and offers an array of free and affordable educational programs.

As a member of this network, QUT Library provides public access to grantmaker directories, books on fundraising and nonprofit management, and the Foundation Center’s electronic databases.  These information resources can be found at the QUT Community Collection for Grantseekers, Fundraisers and Philanthropists.
