The new 4th Edition of the National Guide thoroughly prepares you for an informed grant search. It covers over 1,700 foundations and corporate direct giving programs with an interest in the field, providing you immediate access to crucial fundraising information: grantmaker addresses, financial data, giving priorities, contact names and key officials; lists of sample grants; and a range of indexes. To show you the grantmakers' demonstrated giving interests, the volume includes over 4,400 descriptions of grants recently awarded to projects and organizations involved in international conservation, ecological research, litigation and advocacy, waste reduction, animal welfare, and many other related projects.

Grants are available from thousands of sources, both private and public. To the grantseeker, however, this wealth of sources appears like an impenetrable jungle. "Where are the grants I need and what do I need to do to submit my ideas and proposals?" This book is designed to answer these questions by aiming the grantseeker to both the grant givers and by providing a bibliography of book for further research.
