Foundation Center, located in New York City, was established in 1956 and is the leading source of information about philanthropy worldwide.

Foundation Center accomplishes its mission by operating library/learning centers in five locations that offer free access to information resources and educational programs. The organization also maintains unique databases of information on more than 108,000 foundations, corporate donors and grantmaking public charities in the United States and over 3 million of their recent grants. The Foundation Directory online subscription service is the most popular means for searching these databases and provides a content-rich website with a variety of free search tools, tutorials, downloadable reports and other information.

The organization conducts research and publishes reports on the growth of the foundation field and trends in foundation support of the nonprofit sector. The center educates thousands of people each year through a full curriculum of online and classroom training courses, and publishes books ranging from basic primers on fundraising and nonprofit management to comprehensive reference works. In addition, the organization coordinates a global Funding Information Network which spans more than 470 locations and offers free local access to core Foundation Center resources and training.
