This is a REd Asynchronous (online/self-paced) class.

Foundation Directory Online (FDO), a service of The Foundation Center, offers a database of more than 100,000 private foundations, non-profit organizations, corporate giving programs, and grant-making public charities. FDO enables individuals to search foundation profiles, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Forms 990-PF, and informative maps, charts and grant records to identify the best potential funding sources for their proposals.

Participants will learn how to access and manage prospects, to effectively use multiple filters and assessment tools, and to store relevant search data.

REd Asynchronous classes feature lessons and exercises designed to build competency and increase efficiency. Modules are accessible 24/7 and are all self-paced. All members of the University research community are invited to complete any online classes of interest.
