CURRENT NEWS

As an additional service, the Jackson County Data Network will be adding more grant opportunity information in addition to the local data provided below.  Watch for changes!

The Foundation Center says Ask Us!  Instant messaging available during prime hours, as well as email.

The links below may be helpful.  They lead to external organizations not part of the Jackson County Data Network.  In addition, the Jackson District Library has many print resources available during hours of operation, including the Foundation Directory.

Please consider that endowment funds have also been hit in the current economic crisis.  One foundation official said that, on average, endowments have dropped 20-45%. Since these funds operate on previous years' figures, expect further changes in grant cycles and funding amounts ahead.
