Nonprofit Resources

Greenwich Library is a partner of the Candid’s Funding Information Network.

Candid (formerly the Foundation Center) is a nonprofit organization that provides the most comprehensive data and insights about the social sector. Every year, millions of nonprofits spend trillions of dollars around the world. Candid finds out where that money comes from, where it goes, and why it matters. Through research, collaboration, and training, Candid connects people who want to change the world to the resources they need to do it. Candid supports nonprofits with information, resources, training, and data to find funding opportunities, determine which funders are most likely to support their work, and become more visible to donors.

Greenwich Library maintains a core collection of nonprofit resources for the needs of individuals and organizations.
