Donors List
Group Visits

The Foundation Center welcomes group visits to our library.

Typically, classes that make use of this service are undergraduate or graduate students learning about the nonprofit sector in general, and fund development in particular, as it relates to foundations, corporate giving, and other private funders.

This service is also available for groups not affiliated with a college or university. For instance, we have conducted training sessions for groups of international visitors being hosted by other organizations.

Our staff trainers can present any of our regularly scheduled, free sessions for your group, including Finding Foundation Support for Your Education, Introduction to The Foundation Directory Online, Grantseeking Basics, Grantseeking Basics for Individuals in the Arts, Guide to the Foundation Center's Web Resources, or Proposal Writing Basics. For a complete description of those classes, visit http://foundationcenter.org/washington/dc_training.html. We can also tailor a presentation to your specific interests.

Because these classes are scheduled regularly, we ask that if you plan to bring a group of 15 or fewer people, you investigate the feasibility of registering your group for one of those sessions. To view a calendar of upcoming sessions and to register online go to http://foundationcenter.org/washington/dc_calendar.html.

If you have a group of at least 15 people, please contact Foundation Center - Washington, D.C. interim director Janice Z. Rosenberg at jzr@foundationcenter.org to discuss your group's training needs.
