If you want to research grants awarded in the USA, then check out the website of The Chronicle of Philanthropy. It currently allows searches for all grants from foundations and corporations published by The Chronicle since 2006. After July 26, 2011, the database will be restricted to Chronicle subscribers.

If you’re looking at US funders, and have not yet subscribed to one of the various online databases, this might be a useful place to start.

About Finbar Cullen
Finbar Cullen established ResearchPlus in 2005 to provide fundraising research services for the not-for-profit sector. He researches people, companies and grant-making trusts and foundations, mostly in the UK, but also other parts of the world. Finbar has published directories of “unpublished” grant-making trusts (registered with the Charity Commission and with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator), and each month he contributes to The Trust List, highlighting newly registered grant-making trusts worthy of particularly close attention.
