CharityNet
http://isoud.charitynet.org/index.html
CharityNet is a World Wide Web site with scads of information
about foundations and NGOs in the United Kingdom. The site is
maintained by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) which provides
many of the services performed in the U.S by United Way, the
Council on Foundations, and Independent Sector. At CharityNet
you will find:
* Links to Web sites of 700 UK foundations and NGOs
* A Charity Search Engine through which you can access the
names and contact information for over 70,000 British NGOs. (We
did a search for "Russia" and came up with 21 organizations.)
* Information about CAF's very active projects in Russia
Perhaps of special interest to people in the NIS is a series of
weekly newspaper articles written for a major London paper which
seek to provide the general public with a better understanding
of the role and structure of charitable organizations in British
society.
CharityNet also hosts the Web site of Charity Know How, which is
one of the major European funding organizations active in
Eastern Europe and the NIS. Available here are the grant
guidelines and a brief listing of previous grants made. The
Charity Know How home page is located at:
