Seeking Grants

Among the resources aimed at helping NGOs to navigate the philanthropic world more effectively:

  • GrantsDirect provides directories profiling foundations who work in various issue areas. A very helpful resource.
  • GuideStar is a national database of nonprofit organizations.
  • The Chronicle of Philanthropy highlights nonprofit news
  • The Foundation Center's mission is to strengthen the nonprofit sector by advancing knowledge about U.S. philanthropy. They offer a variety of web-based and classroom-based resources.

Foundations supporting work on health and environment vary widely in where they fund, what they fund, and which organizations they support.  HEFN's website soon will offer "search-and-share" options to help grantmakers and grantseekers post profiles of themselves and to find one another more effectively.

Please let us know of other resources that might be helpful to grantseekers working on environment and health issues, by email to hefn@hefn.org.
