an alphabetical list of foundations online.

of funding links from University of Michigan
Libraries. See two highlighted links below from this site. Also visit the above site link to see

rather than organizations seeking grants and funds. Funding opportunities are broken down by academic need ranging from pre-college

sciences to name a few).
