The Library has compiled a list of Resources for Nonprofits for those seeking funding during the COVID-19 crisis.
Trying to search for grants from home? You can access Candid’s (candid.org) Foundation Directory Online (FDO) Essential. Staff can assist you with funding searches.
Foundation Directory Online (FDO) Essential is available for remote access through 2021. Once on the site, you will be asked to create an account and sign up for a day pass. The day pass allows you to use FDO Essential remotely anytime within a 24-hour window. There is a clock at the top of the screen that will tell you how much time remains in the pass. After the 24 hour period ends, the clock will show the next date on which you can activate a new pass (every 30 days).
Contact us for questions and assistance at:
Phone: (310) 458-8600 Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm

The Library maintains a Grant & Nonprofit Resources web page. Please keep in mind not all resources listed are currently accessible due to disruptions and closures.
