3. Community Survey of Funding Opportunities
Brute-Force Approach:

Overview:

Sheet A - Grants w/ Deadlines: these are all grant opportunities that have cleared an initial pre-screening process and that have deadlines. Foundations may be listed twice: once for the LOI deadline, and another time for the grant application deadline.
Sheet B - Grants w/o Deadlines: these are all grant opportunities that have cleared an initial pre-screening process and that do not have deadlines.

Overview:

Sheet A - Heuristic Research: these are foundations that have funded non-profit organizations with similar missions to Open Source Ecology's. The data in the first column is dynamically referenced from the spreadsheet further down the page titled Foundations - Funded Similar NGOs, and it is filtered to remove redundancies. Each foundation will be looked at in-depth using the Foundation Directory Online and added to the Annual Grants Calendar if they meet our requirements.
Sheet B - Brute Force Research: these are foundations that were identified through an exhaustive research process into all of the grant opportunities listed in the Foundation Directory Online. (See Search Keywords)
