Candid.org is a nonprofit offering information about nonprofits and foundations to nonprofits. Their platforms include GuideStar, Foundation Directory, the Nonprofit Compensation Report, Issue Lab, and others. They also offer something called Candid Learning, where you can attend free live training or watch on-demand training.
Topics include:
- Introduction to Proposal Writing
- Introduction to Fundraising Planning
- Build the Board You Need
- Crafting Compelling Grant Proposals
Unlike Candid training offerings, access to their nonprofit and funder search platforms is not free. However, you can register for a Candid account to get a few free searches.
One free alternative to GuideStar is https://www.grantmakers.io/, which compiles IRS 990 forms and allows the public to search them.
Glenview Public Library also offers on-site access to GrantStation, where you can search for available grants and funding organizations. Additionally, cardholders can access LinkedIn Learning with their library card number and pin, where they will find learn-at-your-own-pace courses in nonprofit fundraising, proposal writing, management best-practices, and more.
