Foundation Grants to Individuals Online contains a complete listing of foundations that give grants to individuals, more than 6,200 entries in all. These records include detailed descriptions of approximately 2,000 programs which fund individual grantseekers. It is important to note that many foundations have more than one type of grantmaking program. For example, a foundation might make scholarship awards and also provide project support. Where breakdowns are available and both programs are of substantial size, (usually over $2,000 in grant awards per program), separate entries are provided. When only one of the two programs makes grant awards totaling $2,000, there is only one entry.
