• This is to express how wonderful I think your site is.  You have helped me and so many other proposal writers link conservation projects with the right funders (something that can be very challenging if your project is in a developing country).  Honestly, your site is absolutely integral to helping us get proposals out, and we really appreciate all that you do!  Fundraiser for a conservation foundation in South Africa

• I've just started working with a US non-profit in search of funding opportunities.  You have done so much of my job for me already!!  I have already been led to funding sources I never would have found on my own.

• People appreciate your work so much -- we have alumni ranging from small village NGOs to ministry officials, corporate responsibility and foundation program officers, and international development workers. They're busy, they're overworked, and they mostly don't have a budget for grant searches - this is an invaluable service for people who are actively working to make the world a cleaner, healthier and safer place.  Coordinator of an international program in environmental leadership
  

• I am amazed at the content of your website: a mine of potential for those involved in practical development.  I have only just come across this invaluable website – I only wish I have come across it when it was first set up as I have been involved in rural development in East and Southern Africa for over 35 years,  mostly on projects set up on my own initiative, based on sustainable commercial utilization of natural resources by rural communities.  I will be following up on your list of grants.   Thank you for your invaluable contribution to development in the under-developed parts of the world.   Director of a development NGO in Botswana

• We really like the great web site at Terra Viva Grants, and I regularly refer potential grant applicants to Terra Viva to learn about other alternative sources of international funding. Our standard informational response to e-mail inquiries actually includes information about Terra Viva Grants.  In this way we have recommended your web site to many hundreds of people over the past years. We hear back frequently how valuable your web site is to them, and people are very appreciative of learning about it.  Executive director of a grant-making foundation in the USA

• I feel that you are providing a very needed service, as we receive many information requests -- and there really hasn't been a good referral point for international grants.
