About the Center Nonprofit & Philanthropy Resource Center
A Nonprofit & Philanthropy Resource Center that serves the entire King County Library System is located at the Redmond
Regional Library. This collection is comprised of information on such topics as nonprofit organizations and all aspects of fundraising and philanthropy.
The Foundation Center has granted the King County Library System status as a “Cooperating Collection” in their national “Cooperating Collections Network.” This
Network includes organizations in every state that provide information on private
philanthropic giving to the grantseeking public. Their database, Foundation
Directory Online Professional (FDO Professional), is available
on three computers designated for those doing grant research. The database includes 96,000 foundations and corporate giving programs and 500,000 IRS 990s that are fully searchable and 1.5 million grants. The database is updated weekly. The collection and grant research computers are located near the Reference Desk and results can be printed, saved to disk, flash drive or zip disk (provided by the user) or, in many cases e-mailed. In addition to providing free access to that database, we also provide free access to three other databases: Philanthropy Northwest Member Directory online, GrantStation and NOZA. This Web site offers more than 150 links to Web sites dealing with nonprofit and fundraising topics. In addition, the Nonprofit Calendar posts meetings, workshops, seminars and conferences on any nonprofit or fundraising topic that takes place in Western Washington and is worth monitoring.
The Redmond Regional Library also provides study areas and 62 PC workstations that have Internet connections, Microsoft Office software and the King County Library System catalog. The KCLS catalog provides access to more than 2.4 million items in the System. The Redmond Regional Library has information to help you research projects of interest to nonprofit organizations.
