"Great platform for foundation research!"
5/5
What do you like best about Foundation Directory Online?

I like the Advanced Search features best, specifically the subject search and ability to search by geographic region. It's also nice to have the option of searching by trustee name. When I'm reviewing an individual foundation. I really like the feature that shows Most Common Grant Amount, as it saves me a lot of time and negates the need to comb through multiple 990s for grant amounts. I would definitely recommend the product to others based on these features and the overall ease of use of Foundation Directory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foundation Directory Online?

I preferred the look of the old interface better; the updated version requires too much scrolling. I would like the ability to be able to choose between the old interface and the new one. I think I would use both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly recommend Foundation Directory Online"
5/5
What do you like best about Foundation Directory Online?

FDO is user-friendly, the tools are extremely useful, and the database is comprehensive. It is easily the best "bang for your buck" in terms of identifying grant opportunities specific to your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foundation Directory Online?

The only drawback I have found is that you have to be fairly specific about where you place your search terms in the search tool, however once you learn that, it really is quite simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
