NSF funds research and education in science and engineering through grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements to more than 2,000 colleges, universities, and other research and/or education institutions in all parts of the United States. It makes approximately 9,000 new awards each year, typically going to universities, colleges, academic consortia, nonprofit institutions, and small businesses.

The Center collects, organizes, analyzes, and disseminates information on foundations, corporate giving, and related subjects.  This site is useful for grantseekers, grantmakers, researchers, policymakers, the media, and the general public.  Although access to the Foundation Directory online requires a fee, their direct links to the web sites for hundreds of private, corporate and other foundations and charities (under Finding Funders) is most useful and is free.
