As part of our work on the project to establish a centralized repository of non-U.S. based NGOs, the Foundation Center has created an interactive map showing more than 20,000 grants totaling over $6 billion awarded to more than 10,000 non-U.S. recipients. The map includes a sample of the grants awarded between 2003-2008 by more than 600 larger independent, corporate, or community foundations and grantmaking public charities. The vast majority of grants included in this sample are over $10,000. While this sample includes only a portion of the direct cross-border grants made during this period, it provides a picture of giving to non-U.S. recipients. Included are grants reported to the Foundation Center by the foundations themselves or captured from public records.

This project is a joint effort of the Council on Foundations, the Foundation Center, Independent Sector, and InterAction and is being funded by the GE Foundation, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the F.B. Heron Foundation and the Firelight Foundation. Information Age Associates is the project manager.
