Hi , I would like to know if are South African applications accepted for these funds. I am currently in a process of registering an NGO in Education , the aim is to support education in the rural areas from Eastern Cape. The registration is a bit delay due to the names chosen which are already existing .
Hello! In general these are opportunities for organizations located in the US. You would need to review the individual websites for each grantor to see if they offer grants internationally.
Okay, thank you Sarah. I will look into those websites because I saw some of them do fund SA NGO’s.
