1.The average of the number of non-U.S. grants you made over the last three years can usually provide an accurate estimate of the number of EDs you will need. Choosing the right membership level — based on the number of EDs your organization plans to request in the coming year — will enable you to take advantage of the most cost-effective volume discount.

2.For the first year of NGOsource operations, we expect most ED requests to require the "New ED fee" for certification. An estimated 1 - 2 percent of EDs may require significant additional research, which could result in an increase in fees. Such research will only be performed with the grantmaker's approval, and the ED processing fee will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
