Foundation Directory Online Essential Provides information for grant seekers. As a member institution, the Meriam Library provides access to two Foundation Center databases: 1) Foundation Directory Online, which is the premier grantseeking research tool; 2) Foundation Grants to Individuals Online, which provides information on scholarships, fellowships and more. Covid-19 Access: The Meriam Library has been given remote access to the Foundation Directory Online Essential, for the next several weeks, beginning March 26, 2020. FDO Essential is a subset of the Library's FDO Professional database. FDO Essential contains 103,000 records only from private and independent foundations, while FDO Professional contains 189,000 records from private and individual foundations, corporate foundations, U.S. federal funders, public charities, and international foundations. Also during this period, Meriam Library librarians will be able to access FDO Professional remotely. If you would like a librarian to mediate an FDO Professional search on your behalf, please contact Marc Langston mlangston@csuchico.edu
