ACCESS MILLIONS OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

CFA’s Nonprofit Resource Library provides free tools, training, literature, and access to more than 17 million grant opportunities through Candid’s Foundation Directory Online.

In addition to access to the database, the library also houses Candid’s e-book collection through OverDrive. Physical reference resource topics include grant-seeking, philanthropy, volunteerism, proposal writing, nonprofit management, fundraising, and community and economic development.

We also have trained staff available to guide nonprofits in their efforts to discover and apply for a broad spectrum of new funding opportunities. To book your visit, reach out to CFA Program Associate Emily Wood at ewood@cfalleghenies.org or 814-208-8448.
