CAMDEN – September 23, 2024 – Nonprofits can now access Foundation Directory Pro (FDP) and GuideStar Pro through the Candid Community App at the United Midcoast Charities (UMC) offices in Camden. As a Funding Information Network Location, we can help nonprofits access hundreds of thousands of potential funders. Previously, those without a pro subscription would have to go to Portland to access this information.
Utilizing FDP, nonprofits gain comprehensive and current insights to drive their searches. The extensive profile of each grantmaker provides valuable insights into their past grants, what sort of causes they fund, how much they typically give out, and who is connected to each organization. This helps identify and prioritize the most suitable funders. Since 90% of U.S. foundations lack websites, finding funders through a standard internet search is nearly impossible. FDP connects you with philanthropists eager to support your mission.
GuideStar Pro is the most comprehensive source of nonprofit information available, with access to 1.8 million+ nonprofits. With the most advanced search and analysis tool for researching nonprofit organizations, you can search and filter by organization, type, size and location, detailed cause areas and populations served, and see in-depth organizational financial information.
New to Foundation Directory? The staff at UMC are trained to assist you in getting started. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, email admin@unitedmidcoastcharities.org, or call the UMC office at 207-236-2299.
United Midcoast Charities plays a pivotal role in providing financial support, strategic guidance, and tangible resources to Midcoast nonprofits providing services in our four focus areas of food, housing, health & safety, and economic security. UMC strengthens these community-focused organizations to achieve their missions more effectively and have a greater impact.
