About the Funding Information Network
The Funding Information Network (FIN) at Austin College is a Funding Information Network partner of the Foundation Center. As a member of this nationwide network of libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit agencies, the FIN at Austin College provides visitors with free public access to grant maker directories, books on fundraising and nonprofit management, and the Foundation Center’s electronic databases, Foundation Directory Online Professional, Foundation Grants to Individuals Online and Philanthropy Insight. The fully searchable databases include detailed profiles of all active U.S. foundations, as well as an extensive file of recent grants awarded by the nation’s top funders. The collection of resources related to grant seeking and fundraising is open to the community as well as Austin College students and employees. The three databases and non-circulating materials may be used within the library.
Please check the Abell Library webpage for regular hours and special hours when classes are not in session.
