Unfortunately, we have had to remove the regional funding lists from our website. Through feedback from foundations, we found that many visitors to our website were not reading the funders’ guidelines regarding eligibility, and as a result, foundations were being flooded with applications from ineligible organizations.
To stay abreast of grant opportunities and their eligibility requirements—which usually include geographic restrictions—we suggest you subscribe a grantmaker database such as GrantStation, which lists grant opportunities for organizations based in the United States, Canada, and globally. We have partnered with GrantStation to offer our members significant savings on an annual subscription.
