Other Funding Sources
SPIN Network
SPIN is FIT’s subscription grants database. We make this available at no cost to you. SPIN can be accessed through any campus computer. Log on to SPIN using your FIT username and password.
You will get best results if you set up a “SPIN Smarts” email alert. This is a profile that you create that will send you a daily email with grant opportunities that meet your search criteria.
Candid
Candid maintains the most comprehensive U.S. database of grants for institutions and individuals; it is especially strong on private foundations. While FIT does not have an open-source subscription, the Grants Office can conduct research on your behalf. A smaller pool of searchable, open-source Candid grant listings are available through Philanthropy News Digest.
