Library Grants Information Center
The Beauregard Parish Library has been host to grantsmanship material through the Foundation Center (based in New York) since 1991 (the fourth in the state) serving Southwest Louisiana with print and electronic formats. Find grant money for your projects using our grants databases.
Ask for directions to the Grants Room (for non-circulating materials) or ask for the sections for circulating materials at The DeRidder Branch of The Beauregard Parish Library. For more information contact our Collection Supervisor at 337-463-6217.
Foundation Center by Candid will help you find grant money for your projects. This online resource is only available inside the DeRidder branch of The Beauregard Parish Library, ask for directions to The Grants Room, and ask for the Collection Supervisor if you need help. Watch the old Foundation Center tutorial and the new Foundation Center tutorial to better help you learn to navigate the website.
