Since 1984, Reference Service Press has proudly published the Directory of Financial Aids for Minorities, the only comprehensive listing of funding opportunities available to African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans. This directory has consistently received rave reviews. RQ called the compilation the only one of its kind. The Grantsmanship Center concluded that the directory was a must for every organization serving minorities.Each year since the directory began, the funds available to minorities have increased steadily. And, so has the size of the directory! By the 1995-1997 edition, the compilation had more than 2,000 program entries, nearly 700 pages, and a two-inch spine. In the past two years, despite the steps taken by the federal and state governments to curtail funding for minorities, the number of programs set aside for these groups has grown at an even faster rate. By 1997, this proliferation of funding programs made it completely impractical for us to continue the directory's original single-volume format.
