Indian Valley Record . Wednesday, April 13, 2011 3A Quincy library offers grant-seeking workshop Plumas County Library is offering "Grant-Seeking Ba- sics" Friday, April 15, from 9:30 a.m. - noon in the Quincy Library meeting room. This is a reschedule of the workshop which was cancelled in March due to illness. The workshop will provide guidelines for identifying po- tential funders, and will pro- vide tra!ning in the Founda- tion Center's comprehensive online database. Attendees will learn how to create cus- tomized searches to develop targeted lists of foundations that will match their organi: zation's funding needs. This workshop is free, and recommended for representa- tives of nonprofit organiza- tions, anyone new to fundraising and anyone wanting to know more about the library's Foundation Cen- ter resources and the funding research process. Space is limited. Interested nonprofits can register by calling the Plumas County Library, 283- 6310. The library is located at 445 Jackson St. Plumas County Library continuesto offer resources for nonprofit organizations and other grantseekers look- ing for funding from founda- tions. Thanks to support from Feather River Land Trust, Plumas Rural Services, Plumas Corporation and Northern Nevada Food Bank, the library is starting its fourth year as a Cooperating Collection of the Foundation Center. The Foundation Directory Online (FDO), the leading grantseeking database on the Web, has been recently updated to provide even easier search strategies. Li- brary users have free ac- cess to FDO along with core collection of Founda- tion Center directories and publications. "We're very grateful to our partners, who've allowed us to keep.providing this valu- able database," says Margaret Miles, Plumas County librari- an. "People like it because it's easy to use. There's an amaz- ing amount of information available here that we wouldn't have otherwise." The database offers a vari- ety of search options so that searchers can create a fully customized search based on specific criteria. Most data- base listings offer profiles of the grantmaking organiza- tion, grant types, people and IRS Form 990. Miles is avail- able to give instruction in use of the Foundation• Directory by appointment. Public invited to meeting about proposed courthouse location The Administrative Office of the Courts will hold a pub- lic meeting to provide infor- mation about potential sites for the new Quincy court- house. At the meeting, the public and other interested parties will have an opportunity to hear an overview of the pro- posed project and sites cur- rently under consideration and provide comments on the site selection process to date. The AOC's Office of Court Construction and Manage- ment will present project in- formation and a brief overview of sites under con- sideration and will introduce the project architect. Interest- ed parties may ask questions and provide comments. The meeting will take place Tuesday, April 26, in the Superior Court of Plumas County, at the courthouse in Quincy, beginning at 6 p.m. The current historic court- house is a significant town landmark, but no longer func- tions well as the main court- house for the Superior Court. The courthouse, completed in 1921, does not meet modern operational and security re- quirements: The goal of the project is to construct a new three-courtroom courthouse that meets the community's needs, blends with the char- acter of the town of Quincy, and preserves green space. The two top sites currently under consideration are: the Dame Shirley Plaza area, in: cluding the plaza and adja- cent and nearby parcels; and a privately held parcel at 199 Crescent St. For more information visit (:ou rts.ca.gov/2824.htm Blood donors could get $1,000 for school Greenville High School may receive $1,000 if enough peo- ple come out Tuesday, April 19, to give blood. The community blood drive will be in the school gym on Highway 89 from noon - 6 p.m. The small school that re- cruits the most donors will re- ceive a check for $1,000'from United Blood Services. Almost 70 units of blood were collected in • November, which means Greenville is just more than halfway to having a chance at earning that cash prize. .Greenville High School As- sociated Student Body and Greenville Rotary Club mem- bers sponsor this local blood drive. It's estimated that six out of every 10 people will need blood or blood components during their lives. Blood can- not be manufactured; the only source is generous voiun- teers. Giving blood is safe and hurts no more than a pinch. Every blood donation can save the lives of three people. "Be strong for your local students, support the high school and save people's lives with Just one blood donation," requests student leader Ju- lianna Arteaga. : There are a few age and weight requirements, and those who have ever had he- patitis should not donate. To find out more about do- nating blood, call (775) 324-6454. To schedule an appoint- ment, call the high school at 284-7197 or visit blood- hero.com and use the sponsor code Greenville. Walk-ins are welcome; all donors will be required to show their identification. A second online database, Foundation Grants to Individ- uals, provides sources for scholarships, fellowships and other financial support. Ac- cess to both databases is cur- rently available only in the Quincy Library. "The nearest other Cooperating Collections are in Redding or Carson City," says Miles. "There are many nonprofit agencies in Plumas, and in neighboring counties, that will benefit from having these resources closer at hand." Established in 1956, the Foundation Center is the na- tion's leading authority on or- ganized philanthropy, serving grantseekers, grantmakers, researchers, policymakers, the media and the general public. Thousands of people visit the center's website each day and are served in its five regional learning centers and its national network of Coop- erating Collections.
