Explore Grants for Non-profits & For-Profit organisations. Akasha Grant Finder, our proprietary guide to foundations, charities, corporates, and major donors, provides grant seekers with a grant writing head start. We give fundraisers an edge with research that’s comprehensive and accessible.
How does Akasha Consulting Ltd choose which funders to include in GrantFinder?
Our goal is to provide carefully curated information and analysis about every significant institutional grantmaker that is active, as well as most top individual donors. To be included in GrantFinder, a foundation or donor must engage in ongoing grantmaking. We also include foundations and donors that engage in sporadic giving, or have a pattern of unrelated one-off gifts. With each research guide, whether focused on an issue or place, our goal is to include all of the funders—but only the funders—that are worth knowing about and possibly approaching.
How does Akasha Consulting Ltd research funders?
Our research team mines a variety of sources to identify significant funders in a given space and craft informative, accurate profiles. We study tax forms, scour foundation websites, read annual reports, review articles and social media posts, and review media coverage. In the case of living donors and family foundations, we pay keen attention to biographical information that offers insights into the backgrounds of funders and their motivations for giving. Grantmaker Profiles include: Private & independent foundations, Corporate foundations, Federal funders, DFIs, Public charities, Donor-Advised Funds and International foundations
How does Akasha Consulting Ltd ensure its research is accurate and up-to-date?
All profiles are written by specialist researchers and updated regularly as grantmaking strategies and programs change. Funder profiles are fact-checked annually, but also may be revised throughout the year to include new information as it becomes available. Because tax forms often are not available until long after grants have been made, we pay close attention to news sections and social media feeds of grantmakers to learn about recent developments. We encourage users to contact us with new information about funders that should be included in our profiles, or anything that needs to be corrected or improved.
