Get Started : How to join

Once NGOsource launches, a grantmaker will first need to become a member of the service. Our team will review all applications to ensure that organizations are eligible for membership and to protect the security of NGOs.

Once approved for membership, you'll be asked to pay the first year's membership fee. Then, you may access the Grantmaker Portal, where you can make your first equivalency determination (ED) requests using our easy-to-use online system.

If you are interested in membership and would like to know when NGOsource launches, subscribe to our newsletter. If you have questions about NGOsource membership, check out our FAQ.

Is NGOsource right for you?

NGOsource is primarily designed for U.S. grantmakers that give international grants. These grantmakers include public charities, private foundations, corporate foundations and donation programs, independent foundations, community foundations, donor advised funds, family foundations, re-granting organizations, philanthropic service providers, "friends of" organizations, U.S. government agencies, and individual donors.

If you are a grantmaker that does not fit the types above, please contact us.
