Candid
Made possible by a grant from MidShore Community Foundation, TCFL is pleased to offer access to The Foundation Directory and Guidestar through Candid.
Candid is a nonprofit that provides comprehensive data and insights about the social sector for nonprofits and funders. Each 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.
Nonprofits and individuals can use the Foundation Directory to find and connect with funders who can support their work.
Funders and community members will find GuideStar to be an invaluable resource to verify and research nonprofits that are aligned with their priorities and to find services.
Access to the Foundation Directory and Guidestar is limited to in-library use only. You are welcome to utilize these resources on Library computers or your own device via the Library's WiFi.


GuideStar is the most comprehensive source of nonprofit information.
- Community members can easily find local nonprofits where they can donate, work, or volunteer
