Attention nonprofits and other grant-writing agencies:
Do you want to reach your fundraising goals faster? Find funding to support academic research? Come to the Iowa City Public Library and use the Foundation Directory Online!
Foundation Directory Online (FDO) is a research tool to find the grantmakers most likely to fund your projects. This tool includes grantmaker profiles that provide a powerful summary overview of the funder's work along with all the pertinent details fundraisers need to find and approach great prospects. The resource features the following:
- 100,000+ grantmaker profiles
- 500,000+ key decision makers and leaders
- Keyword search IRS 990-PF Forms
- Online workspace
The Foundation Directory Online has a YouTube profile where you can find how-to videos. Here is a video on how to navigate search results in the FDO.
This resource is only available to use in the downtown library. When you are in the library--either using our wifi on your own laptop or one of our computers--find the Foundation Directory Online link on the Online Resources page of the ICPL website.
I checked this book out after being drawn in by its title. A "mindful" body sounds much better to have than a mindless one! There's a lot of new science out there about how conditions of the body affect the brain, like the mind-gut connection, and this book is a great companion to those studies. I appreciated learning about the placebo affect and enjoyed listening to stories about how people experienced less pain when they were able to ignore it more. I love exploring ideas that promote the mind-over-matter concept. If you've ever wondered, "but how sick am I *really*?" this book is for you! -Melody
