 ⌊Directory of American Grantmakers 2008-09⌉International fundraising consultancy
Chapel and York have come up with an excellent idea to boost the impact of their
new ‘Directory of American Grantmakers’ publication. They are encouraging fundraisers
to buy the book and donate a copy in PDF format to the charity of their choice, 
anywhere in the world, at no extra charge.

The directory features profiles of over 700 American foundations that make grants
outside the USA, so is likely to be a valuable tool to many organisations around
the world, not all of which will be able to afford it.

 

 

 

"We know that this Directory could be of huge assistance to organisations in developing
countries, many of whom can’t afford to buy it," said Barbara Davidson, Chapel &
York’s new Communications Manager, who suggested the Donate a Directory scheme. "
It could make a real difference in their search for funds".

 

 

 

I wonder if any of the other sector publishers will pick up this idea and offer 
it to their customers.
