Grants
The library no longer has funding to support the grant-seeking database Foundation Directory Online. Oklahoma State University's Edmon Low Library does have the database, and visitors can visit the library to use the resource in person.
Learn about grant writing, fundraising, and other topics by taking free, self-paced webinars from the Foundation Center and GuideStar's site candid.org. They offer free in-person and online training opportunities and on-demand and self-paced learning opportunities on numerous topics, including finding grants, proposal writing, budgets, and more. Visit their training page to search all available topics and upcoming opportunities.
