Welcome to the Foundation Center's
Cooperating Collections network!

Here you will find useful resources to help get your collection off the ground. You may want to refer to the Standards of Operation just as a reminder of what you are expected to provide as a member of the network and what you can expect from the Foundation Center. Keep in mind that these are minimum requirements, and many network members far exceed them. One of the most important standards is to make the Center's databases available for public use. Here you will find forms to sign up for the Foundation Directory Online Professional and Foundation Grants to Individuals Online (included as part of your annual membership fee.) Here you will also be able to get answers to your frequently asked questions and see the list of other recently designated collections.
