FAQ: Why is FC Search Being Discontinued?

The Foundation Center strives to offer grantseekers the best tools for effective fundraising research. At times, we discontinue products that have been eclipsed by state-of-the art innovations. After much consideration of our customers' needs, we have decided to discontinue FC Search, as it has become superseded by a more up-to-date and efficient product, our Internet-based Foundation Directory Online. Version 12.0 is the final edition that will be available.

To better serve our customers, we offer Foundation Directory Online for free use at any of our libraries or cooperating collections. Updated weekly, it's the most current, comprehensive resource available to grantseekers. You can also purchase a subscription to the database for home or off-site use.
