New charitable organizations are being established every week around the world, each having their own priorities and financial needs. The available resources however are spread thinly, and in the present world financial climate, finding new sources of funding has never been more important. The key to successfully finding these sources is research. Research can be time-consuming and expensive, so having the right tools for the job is a necessity.
Here are some research tools that we believe will help you:
U.S. Foundations
FoundationSearch™ America has been developed to answer the need for a quick, accurate, easy-to-use, and comprehensive database for researchers of United States grant-making foundations. Unlike other comparable databases, it was developed for both U.S. and international researchers from its inception. This makes it an essential tool for those seriously interested in the $5.1 billion given annually in international funding by U.S. foundation grant-makers.
FoundationSearch™ America is in our opinion the best database of its kind in the world. It provides more accurate, accessible information than any other comparable database and its unique features enable you to appreciably reduce expensive research time, make your choices significantly better informed, and considerably improve your chances of success.
Worldwide Grant-making Trusts & Foundations
Grantmakers Online is a free interactive database of worldwide grant-makers. Developed to answer the need for a central location for identifying potential funders in a particular country/region from wherever you are in the world, it currently includes over 6000 entries (and growing!) of grant-makers from around the world who have websites in English and who make grants either nationally or internationally.
In its basic form Grantmakers Online is an easy-to-use research database enabling identification of potential grant-makers in specific countries and regions. Opening with an interactive map of the world, simply click on a country to see a list of all the grant-making foundations in that country. Click on a grant-maker and further details will appear. Other search facilities enable you to refine your search to particular interests and geographical funding areas.
Grantmakers Online, however goes much further than being just an ordinary database. Its interactive design is such that you can add details of new grant-makers known to you but not listed on the database; amend existing grant-maker records in the light of your own experiences; post comments and ask questions of your peers: and share experience across the world of fundraisers.
In addition, grant-makers themselves are encouraged to use the database as a shop window for their services. Updating their own entries as their policies evolve, answering questions posted by fundraisers,
and notifying the community of RFPs and other grant opportunities.
Grantmakers Online aims at becoming the central location for all your fundraising needs. As it develops it will become an invaluable central point of contact for fundraisers and grant-makers worldwide.

It is easy to search and contains a wealth of valuable information to any fundraiser looking to raise funds from this valuable area. It is a must for any organization seriously looking for funding from United Kingdom Trust sources, whether based in the United Kingdom or abroad.
