& Related Resources
Compiled
by Jon Harrison of Michigan State University. This is a
fine listing of Internet based and book resources, "Related
to funders, financial aid, and fundraising," to
assist with grant writing. We have many of the books
available here at the Macomb County Library. However, our
"Foundation" databases, listed above are much better
than any free online resources.
