Top: Society: Philanthropy

This is a resource directory.

Please submit sites of individual philanthropic organizations in the correct subcategory, such as Society/Philanthropy/Organizations, Grant-Making_Foundations, or Youth/Organizations/Public_Service.

Please DO NOT submit sites under construction.

Broadly defined, philanthropy is goodwill to mankind as demonstrated by the readiness to promote human welfare. The Philanthropy category in this directory provides an overview of the philanthropic sector, including guides and directories and methods of giving.

Free Donations

Cyber-begging and panhandling sites should be submitted to Society - Requesting Help.

This category is for web sites that give ways for people to donate to charities or causes without them having to spend their own money to do so.

Please make sure this is the most appropriate category for your submission. If in doubt, view some of the sites already included in this category.

Inappropriate submissions to this category may be delayed in being reviewed elsewhere or be deleted entirely.

Sites must be in English. Sites in other langauges should be submitted in the World category.


You can greatly speed up the review of your site by complying with the following:

Please do not write in all caps, nor capitalize all nouns in descriptions.

Please refrain from using any hype, superlatives, or sales pitches. Any such content will be removed.

Please write descriptions in the third person.

The ODP does not list redirection or vanity urls. Please submit the url of your server.

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind programmes which donate useful items instead of, or in addition to, money.

Grants

Includes commercial and non-commercial sites which provide grant writing or grant finding assistance, or offer grant resource material.

Your site may fit multiple fundraising categories. Please make sure this is the BEST one. Submission to multiple categories may result in the deletion of all listings.

Includes commercial and non-commercial sites which provide grant writing or grant finding assistance, or offer grant resource material.

Organizations

You may want to consider submitting sites to the appropriate Society/Issues category (e.g. Society/Issues/...) if the site isn't for an organization. If the organization is religious then it should be submitted to Society/Philanthropy/Organizations/Religious/ instead. It is considered acceptable for a site to appear in the directory twice - once in/under a topical category (like Society/Philanthropy/Organizations/) and once in the appropriate Regional/ category where the organization is based.

Organizations involved in providing humanitarian aid or support (e.g. provision of food, shelter, medical relief, disaster relief) and training for these services.

Social Enterprise

Submit only sites that are focused primarily on the topic of social enterprise.

Do not submit sites about individual social enterprise ventures here. Instead, submit them to a category appropriate for the type of business they are.

Social enterprise refers to income-producing business ventures whose ultimate purpose is to support a social purpose, rather than to make money.

Volunteering

Websites offering general volunteer opportunities should be submitted in Opportunities.

Websites offering volunteer opportunities specific to a locality should be submitted in the category for that community.

Thank you for your help.

This category is devoted to resources for volunteers and volunteer management - the knowledge, skill, and resources that make up the profession of volunteer program management. These links provide access to the most useful general web sites for effective volunteerism and volunteer development and management.
