FOUNDATION CENTER - CORPORATE PHILANTHROPY
Worth a reminder -- The Foundation Center's Answers to FAQs (frequently asked questions) about corporate philanthropy. Find answers to questions such as:
Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the Corporate Philanthropy
section. http://fdncenter.org/onlib/faqs/faq.html
Under Corporate Grantmakers on the Internet, the links provided will take you directly to the "giving" area of each company's Web site, a real time-saver. Try the Center's grantmaker search engine which allows you to search annotated links for keywords that match your organization's interests and/or geographic area.
To search an area of interest AND a geographic area, search first on one, and then search those results with the other term: for example, search on ARTS. When you get that list, enter ARTS and CA if you want to find corporate funders of arts in California. (Or enter CA first, then CA and ARTS.)
