Foundations - Prospects to Research

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)
