Research Tool for Grantseekers

The Foundation Center offers a helpful research tool for grantseekers. With Trend Tracker, a free charting and graphing tool, nonprofits can quickly create summary presentations of fiscal data for a specific funder or compare up to five grantmakers in up to four fiscal categories — assets, giving, expenditures, and gifts received. The data may be generated in either bar chart, line graph, or table format.

Trend Tracker contains data from 2000 to 2005 for the nation's top 20,000 foundations.
