The Grants Information Collection (GIC) in Madison, WI, is a vital resource for individuals and organizations seeking funding. As a proud Funding Information Network partner of Candid (formerly the Foundation Center), the GIC provides comprehensive access to information on grants, philanthropy, and charitable giving. Its mission is to enhance research, advance learning, and support nonprofit initiatives across Wisconsin, serving both university affiliates and the broader community.
The GIC offers a rich array of resources for grants research, including dedicated onsite computer workstations and remote access to powerful databases like Foundation Directory Online Quick Start. UW-Madison affiliates also benefit from specialized access to Pivot and other subscription funding tools. The collection provides extensive support for various funding needs, from education and research to nonprofit and specific organizational grants, complemented by grant proposal resources and helpful tutorials. It's important to note that the GIC functions purely as an information provider and does not manage or distribute grants.
Visitors can leverage the expertise of the Grants Librarian for personalized assistance, ensuring they can effectively navigate the vast landscape of funding opportunities. The GIC is committed to making complex grant information accessible, empowering users to find the resources they need to achieve their philanthropic and research goals.
