In 2011, grantmaking foundations provided $47 billion dollars as grants.
In 2009, out of the $46 billion dollars given as grants, 24% of it was given to organizations around the world.
What this means?
In simpler terms, this clearly means that there is lot of money available for NGOs from foundations in the United States.
But can I successfully raise funds from these foundations?
Yes and we will show you how!
The webinar on “Fundraising from US Foundations” will be held on September 5, 2012 from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM GMT. The webinar will help you understand how different types of US foundations operate; understand their priorities; know what information is relevant and where to find it about US foundations; have knowledge to make informed decisions on whether those donors are relevant to your organization or not; and understand whether you can apply for funds and if so, how to do it.
