GRANTS & NONPROFIT
Candid is a nonprofit that helps other nonprofits serve their communities. We offer Candid’s key tools including GuideStar and Foundation Directory. Our patrons can access GuideStar to research local nonprofits to support and to find services. Nonprofits seeking funding can also access Foundation Directory to find and connect with funders.
Representatives of nonprofit and grassroots organizations and other patrons are welcome to use the databases at the Bristol Public Library or Avoca Branch Library at any time during our open hours.
If you have questions, please contact the Jones Creativity Center, at 276-645-8790 or jcc@bristol-library.org for an appointment or additional assistance.
