Now you can easily get the scoop on celebrities who make grants.  Just do a keyword search for "celebrity foundation" in the grants research database, Foundation Directory Online Professional.  FDO is a powerful tool for researching private (non-government) grant opportunities.  It's available for free on computers in the Main Library.  If you would like a tour of FDO, please contact the Grants Specialist.  Or take the online tour here.

For a humorous, first-hand account of fundraising from celebrities, be sure to read Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson.  Chapter 5 is named: "580 Letters, One Check [for $100]."  Hint, hint.
