In partnership with the R.C. Miller Memorial Library, the Southeast Texas Nonprofit Development Center provides access to Foundation Directory Online (Powered by Candid), a comprehensive grant research database featuring more than 140,000 foundations, corporations, and grantmaking organizations.

Nonprofits can use this powerful resource to identify funding opportunities that align with their mission, programs, geographic service area, and organizational goals. Beyond local and regional funders, organizations can research and pursue grants from foundations across Texas and throughout the United States, significantly expanding opportunities for growth, sustainability, and program impact.

Our team can also help organizations conduct targeted grant research, identify prospective funders, and develop a strategic funding pipeline that supports long-term organizational development. Whether you are seeking support for operations, programs, capital projects, or new initiatives, Foundation Directory Online can help uncover potential funding partners nationwide.

In addition to grant research support, the Southeast Texas Nonprofit Development Center also offers complimentary grant reviews for novice grant writers, providing constructive feedback to strengthen proposals, improve clarity, and enhance alignment with funder priorities. We also provide notary services for required grant affidavits and funding documentation, helping ensure nonprofits are fully prepared for compliant and complete grant submissions.

Resources available at the library include:

• Access to Foundation Directory Online at designated computer stations
• Grant research assistance and guidance
• Virtual training classes on how to effectively use Foundation Directory Online
• Reference materials related to fundraising and nonprofit management
