This announcement was received August 5, 2003:
We've just completed a nationwide set of nonprofit resource guides, which provide easy access to demographics and other local data. Each community has its own guide, with demographic reports drawn from the 2000 Census.
Our site profiles more than 25,000 communities across the country, with information was compiled by journalists formerly with the Detroit Free Press, the New York Times and American Demographics magazine.
Please take a look. I think your users would find it quite helpful: http://www.epodunk.com/nonprofits/

The Grantsmanship Center ( http://www.tgci.com/ ) circulated this message as Funding Tip #23 on August 28, 1996:
1996 NNG Directory:
For many years, The Grantseeker's Guide from The National Network of Grantmakers (NNG) was among the best of the specialized funding directories on the market. It was also one of the most reasonably priced. NNG no longer puts out the Guide, but does put out its own Grantmakers' Directory, the 1996 edition of which is now available. Like its predecessors, this third edition of the Directory highlights "progressive" funding sources that receive scant coverage in other guide books - starting with A Territory Resource (ATR), whose mission is described as directing "financial resources to address political, environmental, social and economic inequities from the ground up." The Grantmakers' Directory is especially useful for progressive organizations looking for funding from like minded sources. The 1996
Grantmakers' Directory costs $25 and can be ordered from NNG, 1717 Kettner Blvd., Suite 110, San Diego, CA 92101.
And this as Funding Tip #25 on August 30, 1996:
National Directory of Corporate Affairs: This book is relatively unknown in development offices. That may explain why its cost has not skyrocketed like other directories used in fundraising. There are 2,000 companies listed, all of which have a "public affairs" program. Listings include the address of the corporate headquarters; the company's political action committee; its foundation or corporate giving program; and its corporate publications which carry public affairs-related material. Key facts on corporate philanthropic activity are provided and contact persons are listed. The 1996 edition is available, by mail order only, for $95 (prepaid) from Columbia Books,
Inc., 1212 New York Ave., N.W., Washington, DC 20005.
