The primary focus of the collection is on foundation grantseekers with additional materials covering fundraising, nonprofit management and related topics. Much of the print collection can be found on the Fund Raising Center table located on the main floor of the library. For additional print resources, do an Advanced Search in the Montana Public Access Catalog. Ask at the Information Center for access to FC Search and for help identifying other useful databases.
