Charities/Grantmaking Organizations
An organized community program that makes annual appeals to the general public for funds which are usually not retained in an endowment but are used for the ongoing operational support of local social and health service agencies.
Joint fund-raising efforts usually administered by a nonprofit "umbrella" organization like United Way or United Jewish Appeal which, in turn, distributes the contributed funds to a diverse range of nonprofit agencies. Some of these programs may also provide direct services for individuals and organizations in their community.
Governmental Contracts/Grants Offices
City, county, state or federal government offices that are responsible for handling grants and contracts for the provision of services.
Nongovernmental, nonprofit organizations that are established to maintain or aid social, educational, religious or other charitable activities primarily through grants using assets which are usually contributed by a single source such as an individual, family or corporation. Private foundations may be general purpose or have giving programs that reflect a particular interest.
Nonprofit organizations that derive their funding or support primarily from a broad segment of the general public to carry out their social, educational, religious or other charitable activities serving the common welfare; and are exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Public charities are the recipients of most foundation and corporate grants, and some also provide grants.
