The world’s foundation centers offer valuable information about grant making by foundations, corporations, charities, community organizations, and other non-governmental sources.  Many foundation centers compile directories of their members – an ideal resource for grant seekers.

We profile the Foundation Center (New York) and the European Foundation Centre (Brussels) as the world’s two largest. 

The Worldwide Initiatives for Grantmaker Support (WINGS) is a guide to numerous foundation centers and grant makers’ associations worldwide.
