Synopsis

Now in its sixteenth edition, the Europa International Foundation Directory 2007 provides an un-paralleled guide to the foundations, trusts, charitable and grant-making NGOs, and other similar not-for-profit organizations of the world. It provides a comprehensive picture of third sector activity on a global scale.

Presenting names and contact details for over 2,500 institutions world-wide, this new edition has been revised and expanded to include the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on this growing sector.

Part One

*Directory information, including the name of the organization, postal address, e-mail and internet addresses as well as telephone and fax numbers.

*Full details of the date of establishment and the aims and function of the organization are listed where appropriate, as well as its principal activities: projects and programmes, etc. Restrictions on grants are listed along with the geographical area of activity, finances, key executives and trustees of the organization.

*Foundation centres and co-ordinating bodies are listed in a separate section at the start of each chapter. These include CAF (Charities Aid Foundation, UK), Civil Society International (USA) and the Association internationale des charités (Belgium).
