GISD is a clearinghouse for public and private grants/ foundation resources. Internet and hard copy database information is also available as a tool for the grant procurement process.

Through attainment of nontraditional funding that includes corporate and foundation grants, GISD enhances the needs of its constituents in innovative ways.
