Candid Online Resources
 

Candid's Foundation Directory Online Professional and Foundation Grants to Individuals are leading resources for finding funders and provide the most comprehensive information available on grants, grantmakers, and grant recipients. Candid was created in February 2019 when Foundation Center and GuideStar joined forces.
