Reservations being accepted for program

YOUNGSTOWN -- Reservations are being taken for a Grant Center orientation program scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Nov. 5 at the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County's meeting room, 305 Wick Ave.
"Grantseeking Basics: An Orientation to the Funding Research Process" is a basic orientation to the Grant Center collection. Grant writing is not included.
This program is intended for representatives of nonprofit organizations new to the process who want to know more about the library's resources or for previous participants who would like a refresher.
The orientation is free to representatives from nonprofit organizations seeking information on funding sources and fund raising. Grant information applies to nonprofit organizations only; no information is available for individuals seeking funds.

There also are indexes such as the Foundation Grants Index; periodicals such as the Chronicle of Philanthropy, Foundation News Non Profit Times; directories such as the Annual Register of Grant Support, and Foundation Directory. The center also contains files on local foundations and annual reports.
