Hi Abby, thank you for your review, Just wondering are you on the old or new FDO? We recently launched a new interface, the new navigation is much more intuitive.

"Excellent Resource"
5/5
What do you like best about Foundation Directory Online?

Excellent Resource for identifying potential sources of grants. It's a good tool if you are trying to determine whether a new program concept has enough potential support to warrant more intensive effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Foundation Directory Online?

I'd like to be able to search with more granularity. If your organisation's work is very specialized it can be a challenge to identify funders that support organizations like yours. If your planned activity has broad appeal, this will not be a problem for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
