Funding Sources for Libraries | Compendium

The Foundation Center has launched Visualizing Funding for Libraries, a comprehensive FREE database of library funding, which contains grants given to U.S. libraries by U.S. foundations.

A data tool includes data on grants from local, state, and national sources for public, academic, school, special collection, and government libraries.  Additional demographic information can be viewed corresponding with library service areas.

Explore new funding sources and learn what projects have been previously funded!

Visualizing Funding for Libraries will offer free training.  Watch the archived Visualizing (and Finding!) Funding for Libraries webinar on the WebJunction website, and visit Visualizing Funding for Libraries training page for more information on in-person events and eLearning courses.
