The NPRC provides free access to several grants databases and trains people in the use of those databases. Those databases are: Foundation Directory Online (FDO) Professional, Foundation Grants to Individuals, GrantStation, NOZA and Philanthropy Northwest’s Northwest Foundation Directory.

We also provide a website (https://kcls.org/philanthropy/) with more than 100 links to nonprofit and fundraising topics. It includes a Nonprofit Calendar for Western Washington listing meetings, workshops, seminars and conferences about nonprofit topics.
