| The Foundations Information Center has been designed by the Foundations Team to help Bank staff take a first step in finding foundations engaged in projects that might complement Bank work. Several resources are provided ranging from a list of the largest US Private foundations that fund international programs to a list of international foundations with offices in Bank client countries.
There are also direct links to foundation search engines where you can tailor your search by sector or geographic area. In addition, we have listed foundations that fund projects in certain regions (e.g. Africa funders) or by specific topics (e.g. HIV/AIDS funders). These lists have been abstracted from resources published by the Council on Foundations, European Foundation Centre, and similar sources. We will be expanding the coverage of regions and topics when new or additional data become available.
Since the World Bank is now engaged in an initiative that will explore how community foundations can empower local people in developing countries and lead to sustainable community driven development, we have provided a special section on community foundations.
