Nonprofit Resources: Nonprofit Resources

Candid (formerly the Foundation Center) provides free funding information through the Candid Community. Every year, millions of nonprofits spend trillions of dollars around the world. Candid finds out where that money comes from, where it goes, and why it matters. Through research, collaboration, and training, Candid connects people who want to change the world to the resources they need to do it. as well as grant funders through state and federal agencies.

The Candid Community service is made possible thanks to the Atlantic Cape Foundation, the ThriveAC Fund and the Cape May County BizHub.
