The need for nonprofit organizations to find proven and reputable sources of grant funding is never-ending, but necessary during all economic climates and cycles. To access grant-makers nationwide, the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore (CFES) is providing a free workshop for local nonprofits to learn about the “Foundation Directory Online,” a searchable database of potential funding opportunities.
The free two-hour workshop from 10 a.m. to 12 noon will be held Thursday, March 2nd at the Community Foundation offices in Salisbury. The Foundation Directory Online is a key research tool is free to nonprofit organizations and provides information on the application criteria for over 140,000 grant-makers nationwide.
