| The Foundation Center is an independent nonprofit information clearinghouse for foundations, corporate giving, and related subjects for grant-seekers, grant-makers, researchers, policy makers, the media, and the general public. Two of the useful sections of the site are Finding Funders for finding foundations and the 990 Finder to look up the IRS returns of private foundations, public charities, and other nonprofits. |

| Fraternal and Service Organizations |
|
| Fraternal and service organizations exist in many parts of the world. Most have local chapters in specific countries but may provide services internationally. In the U.S., local chapters often pursue the agendas set by their national bodies, which include sending volunteers, professionals, and funds to communities in need world-wide. A partial list of web links is available through Wikipedia, the on-line encyclopedia. |
