The profiles also contain information on funding areas, web data and geographical restrictions. The directory is indexed by region, funding interest and numerous other ways to make it simple to use. Other resources include: • State & local libraries, which have many resources including state funding directories.   Look for state community foundations and non-profit technical assistance programs. • Many universities and colleges have on-line foundation search databases. • Other like-minded, non-profit groups may have knowledge of potential funding sources. • Don’t forget networking avenues such as conferences and workshops. • For a comprehensive resource directory of environmental funders, contact Resources   for Global Sustainability at P.O.
