Calvert County Library Resources

Nonprofit organizations and other grantseekers in Calvert County have access to a valuable collection at Calvert Library Prince Frederick which has been designated as a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center in New York City.  As a Cooperating Collection, the library has a print collection of materials on grantmakers and guides to proposal writing, as well as access to two Foundation Center databases.  The Foundation Center’s core collection includes The Foundation Directory Online, profiling more than 91,000 U.S. grantmakers, Foundation Grants to Individuals Online, print directories, and proposal writing guides.  The annual fee for these services has been paid for by the Calvert Library Foundation.

Established in 1956, the Foundation Center is the nation’s leading authority on organized philanthropy, serving grantseekers, grantmakers, researchers, policymakers, the media, and the general public. Thousands of people visit the Center’s web site each day and are served in its five regional learning centers and its national network of Cooperating Collections.
