Funding Leads Research Tip - Have it come to you!

One of my favorite listservs to receive is the Foundation Center’s RFP weekly update.

“The RFP Bulletin is a publication of the Foundation Center. RFPs posted within the past week are listed below, sorted by topic. To search or browse all RFP postings, visit our Web site — new RFPs appear daily. PND posts RFPs free of charge submitted by U.S. grantmaking organizations.”

The announcements provide non-government funding leads in areas such as Aging, Arts and Culture, Children and Youth, Community Development, Education, Medical Research, and many others. 

Sign-up to receive the emails. If you find a funding announcement that sparks your interest, click on the RFP title and let your leads research begin! Receiving email blasts from highly reputable listservs such as this one (or ones that are directly related to your service area) help support your busy schedule and the need for continued research.
