Kingston Library is proud to offer free access to Foundation Directory Online (FDO), the Foundation Center’s premier searchable database of over 92,000 U.S. grant makers to help you find funders for your nonprofit organization. Any records you find may be saved to a flash drive or e-mailed for free. Printing is also available for our standard charge – the first ten pages are free and then $0.20 per page.
