Arlington Funding Information Center

The Arlington Funding Information Center (AFIC) is our community's best resource for nonprofit organizations, small business owners, and aspiring entrepreneurs who need high quality information to fuel their personal achievement or their organization's success.

Whether you need to learn how to find scholarships, incorporate a business or nonprofit, raise funds, create business plans, manage operations effectively, or write grant proposals, AFIC stands ready to help with specialized databases, books and eBooks, workshops, and more!

Materials are located on the 2nd floor of the Central Library, but many online resources can be accessed via the web. For personalized assistance using our nonprofit and small business resources, schedule an appointment with a librarian.
