The Chesapeake College Library is a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center. As a member of this nationwide network of libraries, community foundations, and other non profit agencies, this library provides visitors with free public access to grantmaker directories, books on fundraising and non profit management, and the Foundation Center's electronic database, The Foundation Directory Online.  The fully searchable database includes detailed profiles of all active U. S. foundations, as well as an extensive file of recent grants awarded by the nation's top funders.
