Senior Librarians Michael Meyer and Ann Wemple will demonstrate the Candid database suite that is available at the New York State Library. Candid was formed in 2019 when GuideStar and Foundation Center merged.  The suite provides integrated access to several products. Candid’s Foundation Directory gives you access to the information you need to be smart and strategic with your funding requests. The tools available on Foundation Directory allow you to tap funding opportunities beyond open Requests for Proposals (RFPs) that make up less than 1% of total foundation funding. Digging deeper is critical to your fundraising success. Grants to Individuals are now included in the Foundation Directory. With Guidestar, you can search 2 million+ nonprofits through GuideStar’s intuitive search functionality. Target organizations that matter to you based on geography, organizational structure or staff size, and their financial metrics. In addition to scheduled group classes, individual tutorials are available by appointment only.  

This program will be held onsite at the New York State Library in the Cultural Education Center, Albany.
