Lebanon Public Library and Community Foundation of Boone County Launches New Community Grant Resource

Lebanon, IN — The Lebanon Public Library, in partnership with the Community Foundation of Boone County (CFBC), hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the launch of a new community resource: free public access to Candid’s Foundation Directory Online – one of the most comprehensive grant databases in the country.

The event, held at the Lebanon Public Library, welcomed community partners, nonprofit leaders, and local officials for a brief program introducing the initiative. Representatives from the library and CFBC spoke about the importance of providing access to funding tools that support nonprofit, educational, grassroots, and community-focused work across Boone County.

With this new offering, anyone connected to the library’s Wi-Fi can now search for grant opportunities through the Foundation Directory Online – opening doors for organizations of all sizes to explore funding sources, connect with grantmakers, and strengthen their missions.

“This tool will empower local organizations to do more good, with more resources,” said CFBC CEO Julie Reagan. “We’re proud to partner on this effort to increase access to funding and build capacity across our community.”

CFBC supported the launch of this resource as part of its ongoing efforts to equip Boone County’s changemakers with the tools and connections they need to thrive. The Candid Foundation Directory Online includes detailed profiles on thousands of foundations, grantmakers, and recent grants awarded across the country.

The database is now available to the public at no cost, simply by connecting to the Lebanon Public Library’s Wi-Fi onsite or using a Library computer.
