Окт 4, 2009 Бизнес и финансы, Международное сотрудничество
Институт развития глобального общества часто спрашивают: вы обучаете умению "поднять деньги", а не могли бы подсказать : где их взять? Для вас небольшая публикация о разновидностях донорских организаций, агентств, ну и немного интернет — ресурсов где можно искать деньги. Более полный обзор и как их брать - на наших тренингах. There are a wide variety of funding sources that offer support for development projects. Below is a list of donor categories containing a few examples of specific donor organizations within a particular category:
• Official Development Assistance (ODA) Agencies.
The majority of governments in the Northern Hemisphere operate agencies or departments—often housed in their embassies—that provide financial aid to NGOs and communitybased organizations. Apart from these ODA units or agencies, some embassies also manage small grants programs out of the office of the Ambassador or community relations unit. The following are a few examples of such agencies: the Australian Agency for International Development (AUSAID), and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ/Germany), the Department for International Development (DFID/UK), the European Union (EU), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Swedish International Development Agency, (SIDA/Sweden), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
• United Nations Agencies.
Since many governments contribute to the operations of United Nations agencies, these agencies are called multilateral. Often multilateral assistance is frequently directed toward government programs, but many UN agencies work closely with NGOs. Examples of such agencies are the following: the International Labor Organization (ILO), United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA); World Health Organization (WHO); and United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM).
• Multilateral Development Banks.
Multilateral Development Banks are also considered multilateral because many governments contribute to their operations. Such banks may be global or regional in geographical focus. Although their primary business is offering loans and policy advice to client governments, often their local country offices make small grants to NGOs and community-based organizations. Examples of Multilateral Development Banks include: the African 45 Development Bank (headquartered in Cote d’Ivoire), Asian Development Bank (headquartered in the Philippines), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (headquartered in the United Kingdom), the Inter-American Development Bank (headquartered in the United States), the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (headquartered in Japan), and the World Bank (headquartered in the United States).
• International Foundations.
Foundations are independent entities in the business of making grants to NGOs and community-based organizations. Often they derive their income from an endowment, a wealthy benefactor, a corporation, or constant fundraising. Examples of international foundations include: the Asian Development Trust (Japan), W.K. Kellogg Foundation (United States), Kaiser Family Foundation (United States), the Ford Foundation (United States), the Bernard van Leer Foundation (Netherlands), Fundación CODESPA (Spain), the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation (United States), the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation (United States), the Wellcome Trust (United Kingdom), Fondation de France (France), Fondation Roi Baudouin (Belgium), the Soros Network of Foundations/Open Society (United States), and the Aga Khan Foundation (Switzerland).
• Global Corporations.
Many global companies demonstrate their social responsibility by supporting projects in communities where they operate. Examples include: ABB ASEA Brown Boveri Ltd., (Switzerland), Aegon NV (Netherlands), Bertlesmann AG (Germany), Robert Bosch (Germany), Citibank (United States), Coca-Cola (United States), Deutsche Bank (Germany), H. B. Fuller (United States), Honda (Japan), Grand Met (United Kingdom), Imetal (France), Levi Strauss & Company (United States), MicroSoft (United States), J.P. Morgan (United States), Odebrecht (Brazil), Shell (Netherlands), and Sony (Japan).
• International Nongovernmental Organizations.
International NGOs are global charities that raise funding from a variety of sources, including the general public, to support projects in the developing world. Sometimes they are specialist organizations focusing on health, agriculture, emergency relief, environment, education, community development, or micro lending, or a combination of areas. Examples of such organizations include: ActionAid (United Kingdom), CARE (United States), Concern Worldwide (Ireland), Helvetas (Switzerland) Intermon (Spain), Norwegian People’s Aid (Norway), Groupe Developpment, (France), Medecins Sans Frontieres (France), Oxfam (United Kingdom), PLAN International (United Kingdom), Save the Children (United States), and Terra des Hommes (Swizerland).
• International Church-Based or Religious Organizations.
There are many churches and religious organizations that fund a broad range community development projects. Examples of such organizations include: the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (United States), ChristianAid (United Kingdom), Caritas (Germany), Catholic Relief Services (United States), Evangelische Zentralstelle für Entwicklungshife, EZE (Germany), Interkerkelijke Organisatie Voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking (Netherlands), Brot für die Welt (Germany), and World Vision (United States). In addition to the above institutions, it is important not to overlook host country sources for your project:
• Government Sources.
Such as the ministries or departments of health, education, and public welfare, and provincial and local government sources.
• Local Businesses.
Such as banks, real estate companies, service and industrial companies, etc., and local subsidiaries or partners of multinational corporations.
• Local Independent Foundations and Trusts.
Such as the Tsao Foundation (Singapore), Fundação Vitae (Brazil), Fundación Amparo (Mexico), Fundación Social (Colombia); CP Foundation (Thai), and the Kagiso Trust (South Africa).
• Community Foundations.
Community foundations are independent, grant making organizations that mobilize resources from a variety of sources, including the general public. Such foundations are dedicated to addressing critical societal needs and on improving the quality of life of specific segments of a community in a limited geographic area. Examples of such foundations include: the Kenya Community Development Foundation (Kenya), the Community Development Foundation (Mozambique), Oaxaca Community Foundation (Mexico), the Rustenberg Community Foundation, (South Africa), and the Healthy City Community Foundation (Slovak Republic).
• Service Clubs and Membership Associations.
Local service clubs and membership organizations are often another source of funding for local projects. Examples of such associations include: Rotary International, Lions Clubs International, chambers of commerce, and trade associations of specific industries.
