Foundation Directory Training for Grant Research
OneSource Center for Nonprofit Excellence and The Public Library of Cincinnati’s Grants Resource Center staff collaborated on April 1, 2020 to provide regional nonprofits with remote training AND online access to nonprofit funding opportunities, normally only available with in-person library access. Grants Librarian Kent Mulcahy provided specialized training on use of The Foundation Directory Online. For best usage, it is best to get training before using this tool.
The Foundation Directory Online provides access to essential facts on grantmakers and their funding activities and is normally only available when visiting the Cincinnati library. Through this special provision, users can pinpoint prospective funders, and visitors to the site can explore comprehensive databases plus do research based on their organization’s needs.

Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund
Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky is quickly launching a new fund to support Northern Kentuckians facing increased crises or needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund aims to raise at least $4 million, with nearly half of that already committed. The Relief Fund will provide flexible financial assistance to nonprofits serving Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties in Northern Kentucky that are experiencing increased demand for resources in response to the COVID-19 virus in our community.
To deploy resources rapidly, HCF will not be accepting requests for funding or posting a grant application but will work with community advisors and funders to identify organizations currently providing supports to Northern Kentucky residents that are aligned with the priorities of the Relief Fund to expand available resources and support. For questions regarding the NKY Coronavirus Emergency Relief Fund, and how grant funds will be deployed, please contact Tess Brown at tbrown@horizonfunds.org or 859.292.2849.
