I found a great post today about “free grant money,” written by a fellow Grant Resource Center person in Ohio. Please read it!

How to Search: A Video!

I’ll be going on maternity leave soon, and I want to make sure new patrons who visit the Grant Resource Center in my absence will be able to use the resources without stressing out the library staff too much.

“From the Answer Desk”
February 19, 2009 · 1 Comment
The Foundation Center office in Cleveland maintains a blog which I’m sure I’ve sent you to before.
Today I want to highlight an especially useful feature on the FC Cleveland blog: the From the Answer Desk series. They do not have a category that collects all the From the Answer Desk posts (which is slightly bothersome – hint, hint), but you can collect all the posts by typing from the answer desk in the search box located in the right hand column.
Some of the highlights include:
