ASU Foundation’s Office of Foundation Relations, the ASU Libraries, and OVPREA/PRIDE are delighted to announce university-wide access to Foundation Directory Online (FDO), the premiere searchable online database for philanthropic activity. FDO delivers more than 98,000 grantmaker profiles, access to grantmaker IRS statements, interactive charts and maps of grantmaking activity, and the ability to subscribe to RFP and other alerts that deliver customized research results to your desktop.
Access to this important research tool is the result of an ongoing collaborative effort to build research capacity across the university and increase philanthropic support for strategic research priorities, top-level investment opportunities, and individual faculty research. The FDO online database is accessed via the ASU Libraries and will be supported jointly by OFR, ASU Libraries, and OVPREA/PRIDE.

The “Research Tools” provides quick links to valuable tools such as RefWorks, LibGuides, Interlibrary Loan, and your library account. In addition there’s a handy button to contact our helpful “Ask a Librarian” service.
